Some time back Canadian Reader and I decided we were glad we were in grad school when we were. Further proof of that was offered recently when Kiwi shared the MLA Handbook: Ninth Edition with me! Curiously, I like enjoy books that explain how to properly write and punctuate a paper, how to cite various references, and so forth. In my day it was the book by Kate L. Turabian, my copy is still here on my shelf. This book is from the Modern Language Association of America. It's always important to give proper credit to your sources and these days there are a lot of options. It's as simple as logging on to the Internet, but then there are online papers, dictionaries, encyclopedias, magazines ... things on Facebook pages, Twitter, email and so forth. There are video clips, news stories ... and how to properly credit any of these is complicated! That, plus so much more is in this book. Granted, I did not read it from cover to cover, but if I was writing a paper, I would have!
