Citation Style Guides: Chicago Style

The Manual for Writers of Research Papers presents two basic documentation systems: notes-bibliography style and author-date style. These styles are essentially the same as those presented in The Chicago Manual of Style, with slight modifications for the needs of student writers.

A copy of the Manual for Writers is available at the Reference Desk for in-library use. Please check with your instructor before using this manual.
