MLA stands for Modern Language Association.

This citation style is often used in humanities courses such as language, literature, and composition. 

The purpose of this style is to provide brief information about who the author is within the text and more detailed information about the source at the end of the text. 

The most recent iteration of the MLA citation style provides an easy-to-use template for documenting sources no matter where the material originates.
