Purdue’s Online Sources for Citing Electronic Sources

Published by vanarnhemj under fall2009

This summer the Modern Language Association released the new MLA Handbook for Writers of Research Papers (7th edition). General paper formatting (margins, headings, etc.) and in-text citations remain the same, but all Works Cited style entries are different from the 6th edition guidelines.

The Purdue OWL will list the changes on the Online Sources for Citing Electronic Sources.  Some noteworthy changes:

  • No More Underlining!
  • No More URLs!
  • Publication Medium included.
  • New Abbreviations

For a full listing of the new MLA changes visit: http://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/557/15/#resourcenav
