MLA citation style: big changes in 2009!

The 7th ed. of the MLA Handbook for Writers of Research Papers has been ordered and is on the way to Kirk Library. When it arrives, we'll need to update our handouts to reflect the new guidelines. Until then, here's an excellent guide to the changes from Purdue University's "Online Writing Lab."

  2. This is definitely going to be SICK. The MLA is going BIG this time. Like tow-in surfing a tsunami of citation style. Or snowboarding an avalanche of research guidelines.

  3. Okay. I'll admit that I may have gone a little too far this time by comparing citing sources in the latest version of MLA style to extreme sports. But hey.. anything with the "extreme" label on it sells these days.
