[LM_NET] Gen:Using MLA in student handbook

[Mindy Doler <mdoler@OCONEE.K12.GA.US>]

Our school uses MLA exclusively.  The English department has purchased several
class sets for students to use throughout the year.  I also encourage students
to purchase their own copy for home and future use.  Still I thought it would
be beneficial to put a short list (1 page) of citations in their agenda books
for quick reference when they can't get to other sources.  High use citations
like, book with one author, book with more than one author, encyclopedia,
website, etc.
I wish this was already part of their "quick look up reference" section.  They
have items like the periodical table and conversion charts but no citation
information.  Agenda books are printed by an outside company then given to our
students at no charge to them.  How should I handle this from a copyright
standpoint?  Would a simple citation statement work?

Thanks in advance!
