the humanities for decades. The 6th edition, published in 2003, contains updated

styles for various sources that are commonly used in humanities research. It is not a
replacement for the MLA Handbook.
Two copies of the 6th edition of the MLA Handbook (call number REF LB2369 .G53 2003)
are available at the Ready Reference Desk, located on the 2nd floor of Mitchell Memorial
Library. All material cited in this guide is available in the print or electronic collections of
