Hello!

Your professor is probably referring to the “MLA Handbook for Writers of Research Papers,” Sixth Edition, c2003. It is a standard written by the Modern Language Association to citing sources and writing bibliographies for students writing papers. Your local public library will have a copy in the Reference (Information) department or they may have a copy that circulates (a book you can check out).

Here is a link at University of Hawai’i Honolulu Community College that lists examples of how to cite information using the MLA style. Scroll to the bottom of the page to see the particulars of citing an interview and an example of an MLA citation of an interview. It is located in section 5.8.7 of the manual.

I hope this inforation helps you write your paper. Don’t forget to visit your public library Reference (Information) desk to get help from a library professional.

Elements of Style is OK for this, I think. (It’s been ages since I’ve looked at it.) The MLA style manual is more of a manual of the mechanics of citing papers properly, etc.. The MLA does publish a Guide to Writing Research Papers that might be more helpful in terms of creating a thesis statement, etc.
