Citing Articles in Sierra Nature Notes

Articles in Sierra Nature Notes are being widely cited in print and online publications. If you're referencing an article here, I've included the suggested MLA Stylesheet format for doing so. Other styles can be used, of course.

This article describes 2009 MLA Web citation style (MLA Handbook, 7th ed.). The new seventh edition, released in March 2009 has instituted several significant changes over previous editions. Among the changes are these:

• The medium of publication (Web, Print) must be listed for every bibliographic entry.
• URLs of Web publictions are no longer needed in Works Cited entries, unless it is necessary to find the page or the instructor requires it.
• The volume number and issue number of journals must be included.

Example:

Derlet, Robert W. "2007 Report on Analysis of Water Quality of Lakes and Streams in Sequoia
       and Kings Canyon National Parks."
      Sierra Nature Notes. Volume 8, May 2008.  Web. 20 Apr. 2009.
  

In the example above, the first date is the date of the page itself, while the second date is the date you accessed (read or printed) the page.

Optional, with URL if required:

Derlet, Robert W. "2007 Report on Analysis of Water Quality of Lakes and Streams in Sequoia
       and Kings Canyon National Parks."
      Sierra Nature Notes. Volume 8, May 2008.  Web. 20 Apr. 2009.
