2016 Updates to MLA
Find out what is most important in the MLA citation. Previously, you created an entry for specific media (book, DVD, Web page, etc.). Since media are often combined (a song listened to online from a record album released long ago, for example) or are undefinable, now the medium is not considered. Instead of asking, “How do I cite a book [or DVD or Web page]?” you use the core elements. |
