Honolulu Community College Library

Many classes at Honolulu Community College use the Modern Language Association (MLA) style for writing citations and bibliographies. HCC Library has a copy of the MLA's style manual in the Reference Collection.

A pathfinder (i.e. printed guide sheet) that explains how to write a bibliography in MLA style is available at HCC Library. It lists examples of citations for books, periodicals, Internet resources, videotapes, television programs, and interviews. Ask for Pathfinder 3, or use our examples on the Web.
