MLA Forum
Volume VI, 2008
MLA Forum is a peer-reviewed, open access journal sponsored by the Michigan Library Association. It is indexed in both Library Literature and LISA and accepts submissions from authors worldwide. MLA Forum has changed its publication pattern. In January 2008, we began publishing a single annual volume, which is updated as articles are published continuously throughout the year. Prior to 2008, MLA Forum was a quarterly publication.
