The Modern Language Association has published the 7th edition of the MLA Handbook for Writers of Research Papers. This latest edition contains significant changes to MLA documentation style including a requirement to indicate the medium of all sources (i.e., Web, Print, etc.), a switch to italicizing instead of underlining book and journal titles, and simplified citing of web resources.
Some examples:
Gilbertson, Amanda. "Being New Zealanders Now : Intricacies of Identity in a Multicultural New Zealand." Journal of New Zealand Studies; 6/7 (2007): 37-58. Print.
Grijelmo, Alex. La Gramatica Descomplicada. Madrid: Taurus, 2006. Print.
