<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-size:12.0pt;color:blue">Elementary MLA Citation Maker<o:p></o:p></span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;color:blue"><a href="http://elementary.oslis.org/cite-sources/mla-elementary-citation"><span style="color:blue">Elementary MLA Citation Maker</span></a> has been updated to MLA 8. For every secondary MLA template,
there is an elementary equivalent. Differences for elementary include simplified language on the template face, fewer drop-down choices for several templates, age-appropriate citation examples at the top of each template, and age-appropriate citation resources
linked at the bottom of the Source Type column. Librarians and teachers might find this Marquette University Libraries video helpful to understand MLA’s concept of containers (<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lSekgYAdQcU"><span style="color:blue">YouTube</span></a>,

<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-size:12.0pt;color:blue">Secondary MLA Citation Maker<o:p></o:p></span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;color:blue">All templates on <a href="http://secondary.oslis.org/cite-sources/mla-secondary-citation">
secondary MLA Citation Maker</a> have been finished for several weeks. Based on user feedback, we added the word “Encyclopedia” to the Book template name and note, and then we did the same on the elementary version.

<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-size:12.0pt;color:blue">Drop-Down Choices on Templates<o:p></o:p></span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;color:blue">On most templates, different textboxes appear based on what you select from a drop-down menu. The Title drop-down menu usually has several options; also, users will most often see 3 to 4 answer
choices for the question, “Was this accessed online?” For example, on the Book template, users are prompted to make a choice under the Title field. If you choose Article within a Book, textboxes appear for article title, edition, and volume number. Explore.

<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-size:12.0pt;color:blue">Access to MLA 7<o:p></o:p></span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;color:blue">Based on user feedback, we added access to MLA 7, and it will be available through this school year. The red note at the top of the elementary and secondary templates has the MLA 7 link.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-size:12.0pt;color:blue">Saving Citations<o:p></o:p></span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;color:blue">As with MLA 7, there are three ways to save citations. Copy those that appear in the dotted box and paste them where you want them. The downside to that option is that citations are single spaced.
Another choice is to click on Save as Word or Pages Doc to generate a document that lists the citations. Or, use Save as a Google Doc to do the same but in Google Drive. For the last two selections, all formatting is retained, including hanging indents and
double spacing between and within citations. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-size:12.0pt;color:blue">Gale’s (& Other’s) MLA 8 Citations<o:p></o:p></span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;color:blue">All Gale documents have citations at the bottom, and for MLA, the default in now the 8<sup>th</sup> edition. Because MLA 8 encourages users to rely on critical thinking and allows for some flexibility,
you may notice differences between how Gale cites a source and how Citation Maker does (or what Purdue OWL would recommend, etc.). For example, in MLA 8, the date accessed field for online resources is optional (whereas it was required in MLA 7), but it is
recommended if no publication date is known for the source. Therefore on Citation Maker, if the user knows the publication date, there is no option to fill in the date accessed. Gale has chosen to tack on the date accessed to the end of every citation, even
when the publication date is known. When in doubt about accuracy, consult the <i>
MLA Handbook</i>. That said, we worked hard on Citation Maker’s accuracy. As always, if you think something is incorrect, please let me know.
