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 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like that MLA’s saying that even an outdated URL can be useful since it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.
