Material Detail

New Online Tutorial for New MLA Documentation Style Changes are coming—big, important changes—in the Modern Language Association system of documentation of sources in research papers. This tutorial was created to help students and faculty familiarize themselves with the new system and learn to use its new features. The publication of a new online tutorial was designed and created by Hunter faculty, staff, and students, on the updated MLA Documentation Style. In a unique collaboration of departments and programs, this new interactive e-learning module is being made available to the entire educational community. Just click on http://library.hunter.cuny.edu/tutorials/mla/mla_tutorial.html and preview the tutorial, complete with examples, explanations, and exercises. The new MLA Handbook, with the revised system, will be published in March, so the new documentation style cannot be required until the Fall semester. But we ask that faculty and students, instructional staff and college-based researchers preview the tutorial, review its new requirements and stylistic revisions, and prepare for the future. Let us know what you think of its content, navigation, and usefulness. Send comments to Dennis Paoli, Co-coordinator of WAC and Coordinator of the RWC, at Hunter College (dpaoli@hunter.cuny.edu).
