NOTES:
(1) A dissertation abstract is treated differently; see your style manual for more details.
(2) MLA distinguishes between published and unpublished dissertations. A unpublished dissertation is illustrated. If published, underline the title and include the place of publication and the publisher.
(3) MLA allows the abbreviation U in the names of universities. Turabian does not.
