MLA Style Manual and Guide to Scholarly Publishing.

Changes took place in April 2009, however many schools (and online databases) are just now making the changes.

There are many changes…and just when your students thought they understood it!

What are the changes to MLA 7.0?No more underlining – titles and name of online

product are now italicized.No more long URLs – only use URL of resource if

the citation information does not lead easily to the source.

Continuous pagination – no longer required.Publication medium – include the medium type

such as print, Web, performance, etc.New abbreviations – for missing information,

such as n.d. for no date, n.p. for no publisher.http://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/557/15/
