An MLA bibliography.
Who’s afraid of writing one? Not you with carmun at your fingertips.
So what is the MLA handbook?
In 1969, the venerable Modern Language Association (MLA) – if you’re founded in 1883, you’re venerable – decided that the Chicago Manual of Style (CMS), book-publishing’s bible, wasn’t updating fast enough for the MLA community. If CMS wasn’t hacking it, MLA would publish its own handbook, one geared for high school and college research papers.
With six million copies sold, the MLA handbook found a market and is the manual of choice for many teachers and professors.
The handbook helps students by giving guidelines and answers to such burning questions as:
Do you hyphenate compound adjectives?
Underline or italicize?
Spell out numbers or use Arabic numerals?
And important to the carmun community, it presents an MLA bibliography format. No need to fret about where commas and periods go. The order of facts. And Web sites, what do you do about Web sites?
Now carmun formats in MLA style for you. Enter your data and out pops the citation.
