MLA Handbook

Description

The Modern Language Association, the authority on research and writing, takes
a fresh look at documenting sources in the eighth edition of the MLA Handbook,
the official guide to MLA format. Works are published today in a dizzying
variety of ways: a novel, for example, may be read in print, online, or as an
e-book–or perhaps listened to as an audiobook. Writers of research papers
routinely need to know how to cite works on Web sites, videos on platforms
like YouTube, interviews and other works created by multiple authors, journal
articles contained in databases, online images, posts on social media sites,
song lyrics, and more. Instead of providing separate instructions for each
format, the MLA’s unique, innovative approach recommends one set of guidelines
that writers can apply to any type of source.This groundbreaking edition of
the MLA’s best-selling handbook is short and designed for easy use. It guides
writers through the principles behind evaluating sources for their research
and thus focuses on the key skills of information and digital literacy. It
then shows writers how to cite sources in their writing, offering detailed
guidance on in-text citations, quoting and paraphrasing, avoiding plagiarism,
and more. Intended for students, teachers, librarians, and advanced scholars,
the handbook is an indispensable resource in composition, communication,
literature, language arts, film, media studies, digital humanities, and
related fields. Read more
