The Modern Language Association (MLA) Style Guide
Scholars of English, Liberal Arts, and the Humanities prefer to use the Modern Language Association Formatting and Style Guide when they write their papers. It's preemo and makes your paper look the best it can be! Below I have affixed three or four MLA Style Guide links. All connect to what we call the Purdue OWL - the online writing lab at Purdue University in Indiana. (The school nickname is the Boilermakers.)
The first link connects to the first web page for the style guide. The next links go to particular sections that have information many students crave. However, once you have clicked on one of the links, you can go from its web page to any of the other Purdue OWL MLA web pages. So your travel by the links will always get you where you want to go. You can single left click on the link below and it will automatically create a new tab with the MLA web page on it, or you can right click on the link, select new tab or new window, and go to the web page. Either way, you'll always keep your universe of english tab open!
