MLA 2009 Guide from the OWL at Purdue

[[image:MLA_Image.jpg width="108" height="165" align="right"]]
**Important** : The [|new 7th edition of the MLA Handbook for Writers of Research Papers] was published in Spring 2009 and this wiki reflects many of those changes.



**Very important** : Although MLA no longer requires a URL for Web citations, we advise that you include URLs to ensure that your reader and your teacher can easily refer back to your sources. **Note**: MLA recommends double spacing citations, but many teachers prefer citations single spaced. Please check to determine your teacher's preferences.

**General Tips** Your "Works Cited" section should appear at the end of your paper and works should be arranged alphabetically by author (or title, if no author appears in the entry.) In this section you should list only works actually cited. (Your teacher may also request a list of Works Consulted for those materials you referred to but did not choose to cite.)

**Other tips:**
 * If no author is given, start the citation with the title.
 * Abbreviate the names of all months except May, June and July.
 * Indent the second line and all other lines 5 spaces
