MLA (9th ed.): Home

The citations in this guide were created using these sources as references:

•  MLA Handbook, 9th edition

•  MLA web site

Since the 8th edition provides leeway when creating citations, there may be some disagreement with the citations in this guide.  Audio

visual materials and Internet resources, in particular, can be subject to various interpretations.  When in doubt, consult your instructor.

Examine the source itself - book, journal article (PDF, HTML, print), CD, DVD, web site, web document, tweet, etc. for the information

needed to create a citation. 

Do not rely upon the information provided by a database or a library catalog.

The Modern Language Association has a web page, The MLA Style Center, that can answer questions about style.  An Ask the MLA

FAQ is available as well - it allows users to submit questions about MLA style.
