 Whether exporting from Zotero or another program, whether managing your .bib files in a standalone editor or manipulating them in a text editor, you will at some point have to know the fields available to \sty{biblatex-mla}---especially as some of these are unique to \sty{biblatex}, and as I've had to repurpose some of the fields to suit \sty{biblatex-mla}. Below are the different \sty{@types} and the fields available to them. Keep in mind that some of the fields in the \sty{@book} and \sty{@article} types (for example, \sty{nameaddon}, \sty{origyear}, and others) are also available in others where it makes sense; I don't repeat them here to save room.
