Shifting into 7th: MLA Style

August 22, 2009

I successfully delayed the work since March, but with a new school year approaching, I had no choice but to update our style guide to reflect the MLA 7th edition updates and avoid confusing students and faculty with any mid-year changes.



(You may remember my earlier posts on the matter: MLA Handbook Arrived and You Know You Don't Have a Real Life When)



The big changes include:



* using italics, no more underlining, for larger works

* no URLs necessary, assuming that the reader will be able to locate works by the description alone (We are going to ignore this one.)

* including information about the publication medium of the content cited, for instance print

* it is no longer necessary to share the sponsor of a database in a citation



Diana Hacker offers a very nice brief explanation of the changes.



Anyway, creating a new wiki version of our style sheet incorporating these changes wasn't as difficult as I thought, largely because I made three exciting discoveries:



1. You can indent in Wikispaces. All you need to do is insert "> space" before the line you wish to indent.

2. NoodleTools not only adjusted NoodleBib for the 7th edition changes, they allow you to update your existing source lists to 7th edition format. And not only that, like me, they decided to continue to include URLs in Web citations. I prepared most of my examples in NoodleTools and pasted them on the wiki. (If you are not a NoodleTools subscriber, EasyBib, also does 7th edition, and it includes databases!.)

3. I didn't need to include every source type. Two wonderful PDF documents will serve my students with far more examples than I could:



* Documenting Sources in MLA Style: 2009 Update-A Hacker Handbooks Supplement.

* Documenting Sources in MLA Style: 2009 Update-A Lunsford Handbooks Supplement.

The MLA Style Manual and Guide to Scholarly Publishing (2008) is the third edition of The MLA Style Manual, first published by the Modern Language Association of America in 1985. It is an academic style guide widely used in the United States, Canada, and other countries, providing guidelines for writing and documentation of research in the humanities, especially in English studies; the study of other modern languages and literatures, including comparative literature; literary criticism; media studies; cultural studies; and related disciplines.



According to the MLA book catalogue description, since first being published in 1985, the MLA Style Manual has been "the standard guide for graduate students, scholars, and professional writers." MLA style "has been widely adopted by schools, academic departments, and instructors for over half a century"; the MLA's "guidelines are also used by over 1,100 scholarly and literary journals, newsletters, and magazines and by many university and commercial presses," and they are "followed throughout North America and in Brazil, China, India, Japan, Taiwan, and other countries around the world" ("What Is MLA Style?")
