Style Guides

MLA (Modern Language Association): There are many MLA style guides available; the most comprehensive is the book published by the Modern Language Association. For basic help, a number of electronic guides are also available, such as this one at Purdue.

APA (American Psychological Association) may be a style required, and again the American Psychological Association published a book on the subject. A more condensed guide online is also available through Purdue's OWL lab.

Chicago (University of Chicago Press) is often used in newsletters and marketing-related publications: annual reports, and brochures. The Chicago Manual of Style is available as a book as well as online.

AP (Associate Press)
is used by journalists and media representatives. The Associated Press Stylebook is available as a searchable online tool or in book form. A simple introduction is discussed at the OWL at Purdue.
