MLA Handbook logo of multi-colored waveBurke Memorial Library is currently offering the MLA Handbook Plus on trial now through May 12, 2023.  Compiled by the Modern Language Association, the Handbook has been "Relied on by generations of writers, the MLA Handbook is the only official, authorized book on MLA format. The ninth edition builds on the MLA’s unique approach to documenting sources using a template of core elements—facts, common to most sources, like author, title, and publication date—that allows writers to cite any type of work, from books, e-books, and journal articles in databases to song lyrics, online images, YouTube videos, dissertations, and more. Emphasizing source evaluation as the cornerstone of citation, MLA style promotes the crucial skills of information and digital literacy. (From the MLA)"

The cornerstone of MLA Handbook Plus is the ninth edition of the MLA Handbook, released in print in spring 2021. The ninth edition was created in direct, sustained dialogue with the instructors, librarians, and students around the world who use the handbook every day. A comprehensive reference work and textbook, the new handbook features

  • 400 pages
  • seven chapters, three of which are devoted to documentation
  • 142 visual examples
  • over 500 sample citations
  • two appendixes
  • a comprehensive index
