Why Use This Guide?
For
faculty members and students, this guide shows the up-to-date Modern Language
Association (MLA) research paper formats for non-scientific research
fields. While many other guides are
available, this guide can provide consistency across campus and across many
fields that rely upon MLA to clearly communicate the research sources in
papers, research projects, and publications. This guide
addresses how to cite sources from library databases (e.g. EBSCOhost’s MasterFILE
Premier, NewsBank, etc.) and provides fast, easy reference for online
websites that may not be included in older MLA texts. Many traditional print source formats are
included, especially where they will help with consistency across
textbooks. Please use this guide in
connection with other textbooks.
