The Community of Scholars and Using MLA Format
Welcome to the community of scholars! As a member of this community, you will be reading, analyzing and critiquing the work and ideas of those engaged in academic research and discourse. As you do so, you become an active member of this community, one who is also creating work to be shared with others. As responsible members of this academic community, you will be documenting your sources, using MLA format.
Here are several resources you can access to become comfortable with MLA format:
