Sorry this took so long – been working on a chapter on data literacy and am
just awash with numbers I don’t really understand well enough to explain (grin).
The URL will not be a required field.
Of course you can have kids put the URL in the “working bib” for convenience in
reflnding the source quickly - and then have them remove the URL from the
final.

Thanks! I told our faculty to expect the update over the summer because I
figured that's what you would do. Interesting set of changes to MLA. p./pp. for
Works Cited but not parenthetical - I hate inconsistencies.
A NB development question: since url is now a requirement, will that also be a
requirement for database citations? We don't use the url for a database source,
because the url has our ezproxy login embedded so it just goes to the login
page. For me it's enough to just state the database name. I'm hoping url won't
be a required element in NB.
Thanks - Cathy

Hi Cathy,
We’ll be making the MLA changes in the new release which I believe is timed for
end of June. We had early info from our MLA editor – but I want to see what
the web site adds at the end of April.
Best,
debbie

Debbie I hope you haven't already written this somewhere: when will Noodlebib
reflect the new MLA? I want to warn the teachers :-)

I’ve got an uncorrected proof from our editor - there’s a nice overview of the
changes <https://www.mla.org/MLA-Style/What-s-New-in-the-Eighth-Edition> here.
I like that MLA’s saying that even an outdated URL can be useful since it
provides more information about where the source was found.
