Guide to Citing Resources:

This guide has been revised to reflect the latest version of MLA style, The Handbook for Writers of Research Papers, 7th edition  (Ref 808.027 MLA).

The following is a brief summary of recent important changes.

• Italics: Titles of works are now italicized, not underlined in the text and in the works cited list.

• Medium of Publication: Each entry in the works cited list must specify the medium of publication, such as “Print,” “Web,”  “DVD.”

• Double space within and between each entry.
  

• The URL or Web address should be in angle brackets and truncated to include only the first and second sections.
