  • CSA Illumnia and ProQuest database enhancements
    August 21, 2009

     

    • MLA Citation Format Change—The citation generator is being updated to reflect the MLA documentation style found in the seventh edition.
    • Author Naming Adjustments—In the citation generator area, author names will be presented in Last Name, First Name format. This is only for content that captures the author meta-data in a more granular format. This change reflects content from 2007 moving forward and will be added to archival content over time. Instances such as “staff writer” will not fit this format.
