Welcome to the guide for Citing References Using MLA Style!
We hope that you will find this guide a useful starting place for information on style guidelines from the Modern Language Association (MLA). We have assembled a core collection of resources available through the Wayne State University Library System, as well as high quality, freely available web resources. This guide is a collaborative work-in-progress, developed with the suggestions and feedback from students and faculty.
