Chapter 1: How are printed sources referenced in Chicago?

Chapter 2: How does Chicago style reference digital sources?

Chapter 1

There are many styles of referencing that students may be asked to use at university, but one of the most commonly required is the Chicago style – particularly in the humanities. While this style can also use citations and references in an author-date format, much like the Harvard style, it is much more common for students to use a combination of notes and a bibliography. Our short readers on adding Chicago footnotes and writing Chicago bibliographies can be combined with this reader on source types for comprehensive Chicago referencing.

Chapter 1 provides reference elements and example source details for the most common printed sources, with Chapter 2 exploring the digital source types. As well as providing unformatted and formatted details for students to compare (separated with ‘|’), we’ve included an example footnote (orange) and bibliography entry (blue). Students should remember to replicate the rules of formatting highlighted in these examples, such as CAPITALS, commas (,) or italics, in their own essays.
