There is a copy of the MLA Handbook For Writers of Research Papers by Joseph Gibaldi in the reference collection at each campus. This is the official style guide published by the Modern Language Association, and contains a wealth of information on how to cite sources as well as how to format your paper. For those classes requiring APA citation, there is a copy of the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association in the reference collection at each campus. This is the official APA style guide.

Note: Students should check with their instructor or campus library to determine acceptable MLA format. Remember, your instructor is the final authority for all citation questions.
