Bibliographic Style Form
DRAKE LIBRARY GUIDE
The specific format for text reference and bibliographic citations
varies with disciplines and individuals. If your instructor wants you
to use footnotes or endnotes, rather than parenthetical references,
the Chicago form is probably the one you need to follow, but check
with your instructor as to the preferred format. The most important
thing to remember is to be consistent in your format.
The most frequently used style manuals are:
The MLA Handbook, 3d ed. (Reserve LB 2369 .G53 1999)
The Publication Manual of the American Psychological
Association, 4th ed. (Reserve BF 76.7. P82 1994)
Turabian, Manual for Writers of Term Papers ..., 6th
ed. (REF LB 2369.T8 1996), based on:
Chicago Manual of Style , 14th ed. (REF Z 253 .U69
1993).
The University of Chicago Press recommends a
parenthetical author-date system of documentation similar to
that found in the A.P.A Manual for its publications in the
natural sciences and most social sciences. However, the
Chicago Manual also describes the documentation style
prevalent in literature, history and the arts which is
described below.
Footnotes and Endnotes
When you cite information or ideas in your paper
which come from another source, mark the end of the passage
with a number. That number links the information to its
source in the footnote or endnote. Examples of note formats
for the first time you cite a particular source are listed
below. (In an actual paper each note would begin with the
number you used to mark the passage where the information
appears.) The second time you refer to a source, you only
need to give enough information in your footnote to
distinguish it from the other sources you have used. Often
the author's last name, followed by the page number, is
sufficient (e.g., Milne, 102). If you have more than one
work by the same author, include a brief title (e.g., Milne,
Winnie, 42). If you have more than one author with the same
last name, include initials or first name (e.g., A.A. Milne,
96).
For the format of sources not included in the following
examples, check the Chicago Manual of Style.

Electronic --Forms of citation for computer-generated
Documents data are in development. The International
Standards Organization (ISO), to which the
University of Chicago Press subscribes,
stresses consistency, but permits some
choice. See the Chicago Manual of Style,
1993 ed., sec. 15.423-24, for guidance.
