Although MLA has published a new, 8th edition, the recommendations for formatting your paper have not changed. In fact the 8th edition advises you to consult the 7th edition for all formatting guidelines. 

This video explains how to format your paper according to the 7th edition of the MLA Handbook. We'll go over margins (1:02), font (1:10), spacing (1:15), page numbering (1:19), title page (1:36), tables/figures (2:22) and Works Cited list (3:41).

The content was created by Crystal Rose, Public Services Librarian, Memorial University Libraries, in partnership with the university's department of Distance Education, Learning & Teaching Support.
