General Notes on MLA Citations

You are only responsible for including information that is readily available to you through the resource itself—for example, if a book does not supply an edition, you do not need to include that information in your citation. The following are abbreviated: month of publication, edition statement, and longer publisher names. For more information on abbreviations see the MLA manual.
