Electronic Format of the MLA Bibliography

The electronic format of the bibliography contains all the entries in the print issues from 1926 to the present. It is searchable by classification headings, document authors, subject-index terms, language of the book or article, journal name, and other elements. Additionally, the MLA worked with JSTOR to develop the list of titles in JSTOR's language and literature collection. This collection provides electronic access to fifty-eight journals, beginning with volume 1, issue 1, of each. Some titles, such as PMLA, date back to the 1880s. These journals have been indexed and linked, and as of April 2006 over 80,000 of these citations have been added to the database. In spring 2006, indexing of JSTOR's Asian studies collection was initiated. The electronic format is distributed via the Internet and is updated ten times a year.
