MLA Guidelines

New features:

·        You do not have to underline anything

·        Listing the URL address is not necessary, however it is 
     encouraged if the source cannot be easily found by other 
     means.

·        You must state the medium of publication it is: book, website, 
      journal, etc.

·        There are a few new abbreviations.

Ø If there is no publisher on a website, put an “N.p.” in the 
       citation where the publisher name would go.

Ø If a site does not have a date put “n.d” where the date would
       go.

Ø For online journals or other formats that do not have a print 
       version, put “n.pag.” where a page number would go.
