The MLA (Modern Language Association) style is  used for creating reference and bibliographies/source lists for essays in the subjects of English, French, and other languages.

Because information can be found in so many formats -- books, magazines, newspapers, movies, television programs, etc. -- it is best to check the most current edition of The MLA Handbook for Writers of Research Papers. It contains numerous examples of citations in correct MLA format.

Kelvin High School Library has a current copy of The MLA Handbook for Writers of Research Papers. Look for it in the Reference section under Call Number 808 GIB.  If you need assistance in finding out to how to cite a particular item, please ask Ms. Joanne Peters, Teacher-Librarian.  She will be pleased to help you find the information that you are looking for.

The current edition of The MLA Handbook for Writers of Research Papers does not contain in-depth information on how to cite references from the World Wide Web (i.e. web sites).  To find this information, click on the link below -- it will take you to the MLA page which provides the information on Internet citations.
