If you have used the new MLA style that we started shipping with Sente 5.6.5, you will have no doubt noticed that most of your bibliography entries end with "Print." and I'll bet that many of you have wondered why this is there.

Here is an example:

Gerber, Alan S., and Donald P. Green. "Social Pressure and Voter Turnout: Evidence From a Large-Scale Field Experiment." American Political Science Review 102 (2008): 33-48. Print.


This new version of MLA is based on the recently-released MLA Style Manual and Guide to Scholarly Publishing, 3rd Edition. This new version of the book updates the MLA style to better indicate exactly what version of an article, book, etc. was consulted during research.  If you retrieved a PDF of the above article from JSTOR, the bibliography entry would look like this:

Gerber, Alan S., and Donald P. Green. "Social Pressure and Voter Turnout: Evidence From a Large-Scale Field Experiment." American Political Science Review 102 (2008): 33-48. JSTOR. Web. 13 Jan. 2008


To support this, we added a new field in Sente 5.6.5 called "Web data source."  In the case above, this field should be populated with "JSTOR" and the Date Retrieved filled in appropriately, and the output would change to what you see above.

For more information on this change to the MLA style, see Section 6.7 in the MLA Style Manual.
