MLA and APA Style Guide

Foreword

MLAguidebookimageforweb.jpg

 

​MLA Style (Modern Language Association) and APA Style (American Psychological Association) are used to format scholarly works and to document sources used to write research papers and essays.  These formats are used internationally by high school, college, and university students as well as by journal publishers and commercial writers.

Use MLA Style for papers and essays written in the areas of literature and the humanities (anthropology, psychology, history, sociology).  See the MLA official website for more information: www.mla.org/MLA-Style

​Use APA Style for papers and essays written in the sciences (biology, chemistry, kinesiology).  See the APA official website for more information:  www.apastyle.org

The following links are condensed versions of each of the two manuals created by Ms. Cosgrove (former teacher-librarian), edited by Ms. Mouchbahani, teacher-librarian, and managed online by Ms. Wong, library technician.
