About MLA International Bibliography

The MLA International Bibliography is focused on modern languages and literature, containing over 2.8 million records. 

In addition to the bibliography, the database includes:

  • the MLA Directory of Periodicals: a list of publication details of periodicals including submission requirements, and subscription information for thousands of journals in the MLA’s subject areas.
  • The MLA Bibliography Thesaurus: a searchable and browsable controlled vocabulary that enables users to identify terminology appearing in current scholarship and to create more precise searches.

Founded in 1883, the Modern Language Association of America provides opportunities for its members to share their scholarly findings and teaching experiences with colleagues and to discuss trends in the academy. MLA members host an annual convention and other meetings, work with related organizations, and sustain one of the finest publishing programs in the humanities.
