MLA Handbook (9th edition) by 
The eighth edition of the MLA Handbook introduced a new model for entries in the Works Cited list, one that reflects recent changes in how works are published and consulted.
Previously, a writer created an entry by following the MLA’s instructions for each publication format (book, DVD, web page, etc.). That approach has become impractical today, since publication formats and modes of access are constantly evolving.
In the new model, the writer creates an entry by identifying nine core elements—attributes common to many works—and assembling them in a specific order.
NEW! The ninth edition of the handbook provides numerous examples to help writers answer their most common question: “How do I cite a book (or DVD or web page)?"
