Librarian MaryKay Dahlgreen has returned from her trip to China. Highlights of her trip included taking a high-speed train (125 mph) from Nanjing to Fuzhou, exploring a historic village featuring tulous (earthen buildings), and visiting both the Fujian Provincial
Library and the Fujian Children’s Library. She also drank plenty of delicious tea while trying to survive the tropical weather. Dahlgreen gave a presentation at the Fujian Annual Library Conference, entitled “Oregon Libraries: Now and in the Future.” She felt
honored to be traveling with the 2016 Horner Library Exchange delegation (Richard Sapon-White (OSU Libraries), Veronica Vichit-Vadakan (Oregon College of Oriental Medicine Library), and Jian Wang (PSU Library)), as well as Rosalind Wang (retired librarian)
and Amy Lee (Ft. Vancouver Regional Library). Check out the <a href="https://2016horner.wordpress.com/">

</span><em><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">MLA Handbook</span></em><span class="style101"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">. Their philosophy for citing sources is now based on using critical thinking and some flexibility to apply a
core template to any source. Also, the concept of containers is important to understand. OSLIS’ Citation Maker is used around the country by K-12 and community college students and others. The
<a href="http://secondary.oslis.org/cite-sources/mla-secondary-citation">secondary version</a> of MLA Citation Maker was updated to the 8th edition guidelines in late September, and the
<a href="http://elementary.oslis.org/cite-sources/mla-elementary-citation">elementary version</a> is expected to be available by mid-November. To learn more about MLA 8, check out the
