The Music Library recently received a copy of the 3rd edition of the MLA Style Manual and Guide to Scholarly Publishing (by Joseph Gibaldi, [New York: Modern Language Association of America, 2008, call no. MUR PN147 .G444 2008]).
This manual is used by English and humanities scholars in a number of disciplines, and is in the Music Library reference collection for ease of access.
It retains the same basic chapter structure as the 1998 2nd edition (by Joseph Gibaldi, [New York: Modern Language Association of America, 1998]), but contains notable updates in the chapters on documentation:
All of 6.7 in the 3rd edition refers to Web publications (pp. 211-21).
The 2nd edition referred to "A Musical Composition" under 6.8.5 (p. 202), while the 3rd edition refers to the more precise term, "A Musical Score" under 6.8.5 (p. 227).
The 3rd edition adds e-mail to its section on "A Letter, A Memo, or an E-Mail Message" under 6.8.13 (pp. 231-32).
