The bibliography page of a paper in Chicago or Turabian style requires hanging indents, where the first line of each citation is not indented and every line after is. The examples in this guide will not show the hanging indents because the software used to create it cannot support them. Remember to include them in your paper.

Welcome to the Hill Freeman Library Turabian and Chicago Style Guide
Here you'll find information about citing books, periodicals, newspapers, and electronic material in your Chicago or Turabian bibliography, as well as information about for footnotes and endnotes.
The topics covered in this guide refer to the 16th edition of the Chicago Manual of Style and the 9th edition of Turabian's Manual for Writers of Research Papers, Theses, and Dissertations.
This guide is designed as a quick introduction to the styles. For more advanced questions and other types of sources, please refer to the official publication manuals.
For each type of resource, examples will be given of how to create a full footnote/endnote, how to create the shortened version for multiple citations to the same source, and how to create the citation in the bibliography.

Author-date style (used in most social sciences and in the natural and physical sciences) |

Signal that a source is used by using a superscript number at the end of the sentence in which you quote it or refer to it: By 1911, according to one expert, an Amazon was “any woman rebel—which, to a lot of people, meant any girl who left home and went to college.”1 Provide a note using the same number as the quote used. Notes are then at the bottom of the page (footnotes) or in a list at the end of the chapter or paper (endnotes): 1. Jill Lepore, The Secret History of Wonder Woman (New York: Vintage Books, 2015), 17. Most of the time, you also list sources at the end of the paper in a bibliography, including works cited and works consulted: Lepore, Jill. The Secret History of Wonder Woman. New York: Vintage Books, 2015. |
Use a parenthetical citation (author, date, and page numbers) By 1911, according to one expert, an Amazon was “any woman rebel—which, to a lot of people, meant any girl who left home and went to college (Lepore 2015, 17). At the end of the paper, list all sources in a reference list. Lepore, Jill. 2015. The Secret History of Wonder Woman. New York: Vintage Books. |
