Teaching Tuesday: If you’re assigning research papers to your students on literature, film, folklore, or language, remember the MLA Bibliography is creating tutorials on how to search our database. We’ve made three so far: “What Is the MLA International Bibliography?”, “Names as Subjects in the MLA International Bibliography on EBSCO” and “on ProQuest” … plus we’ll have two more for you this fall. If you don’t want to miss a single tutorial, you can subscribe to them on our YouTube Channel. And, as always, we’ll announce them on Facebook.
