In May 2008, the Modern Language Association (MLA) published the 3rd edition of its MLA Style Manual and Guide to Scholarly Publishing, which made some changes in the official MLA citation style. One of the biggest changes was in the way that electronic publications should be distinguished from print publications.
This month, MLA has published the 7th edition of its MLA Handbook for Writers of Research Papers, the book commonly used as a reference for MLA style by undergraduates.
If your students use RefWorks (the online service provided free to USF students and faculty) to manage their citations and to produce bibliographies, you'll be happy to know that RefWorks now includes an output style listed as "MLA for Scholarly Publishing, 3rd Edition". Students may want to make this one of their standard citation styles in RefWorks.
