"Modern Language Association
(MLA) format provides writers with a system for cross-referencing their
sources--from their parenthetical references to their works cited page.
This cross-referencing system allows readers to locate the publication
information of source material." This is a great site, provided by Purdue
University (Dr. Price's a graduate!) and its Purdue University Online Writing
Lab.
These guidelines on MLA
documentation style are the only ones available on the Internet that are
authorized by the Modern Language Association of America.
