But I have one. And there are more over at my Credly page where I finally accepted the badges. I’ve been teaching online for years, but now I officially have badges for it.

My Goodreads review of the new MLA Handbook
MLA Handbook by The Modern Language Association of America
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
I liked the older edition better when it had more about the research process. This focuses strictly on sourcing and citation, though it does a good job handling that especially for thinking through online and digital sources. Nicely demystifying but not as deep. Docked a star for making me learn a new system when I had the old system memorized. Also, I think the last edition was mailed out free to MLA members but I had to pay for this one. Will likely assign it to classes anyway, though I’m keeping my expectations low.
Wow, this is really a kind of a “get off my lawn kids!” review.
