If I'm not mistaken, a sty would go in the latex, not the bibtex tree. But I
doubt that makes a diff to your problem. The way I understand it, a sty would
handle formatting the citations--author/date parenthetical, etc.--in the
document itself. The sty is included in the preamble (\usepackage{mla}). But
this doesn't get you a bibliography. A bst is required for creation of the
bibliography, and is invoked from the \bibliographystyle{} command.
So barring more informed advice, look for the mla.bst and get that installed.
