MLA style, developed by the Modern Language Association, is used for English, foreign languages and general topics. MLA requires parenthetical citations within the text and a corresponding bibliography or works cited list at the end of the paper.
Copies of the MLA Handbook may be obtained through the campus libraries, check the library catalog for availability.
