Citation Guide

You must properly cite sources in your papers and bibliographies for Modern World History. It is called the Chicago/Turabian style of citation, and it is in widespread use throughout academia. Note that it calls for footnotes, rather than in-text citations, and is different from the format in MLA. There are many "citation machines," online databases that help you to generate citations in the proper form, including this one: http://www.citationmachine.net/turabian/cite-a-book. Click on the TABS for book, magazine, website, journal, film to go to the appropriate page. Below is a short film (7 min) on how to FORMAT your bibliography and footnotes using Microsoft Word.



HOW TO CREATE FOOTNOTES & A BIBLIOGRAPHY (CHICAGO STYLE)
From EasyWriter: A Pocket Reference by Andrea A. Lunsford, 3rd ed: “Footnotes are inserted at the bottom of the page on which the citation appears in the text. The first line of each note is indented ½ inch, or five spaces, and begins with a number followed by a period and one space before the first word. All remaining lines of the entry are flush with the left margin. Single-space footnotes with a double space between each note.” (p. 255)


See this website from Bedford St. Martin's on citation of History Sources for footnote and bibliography examples.

Turabian Style Format for Bibliographies 
Based upon Kate Turabian's A Manual for Writers of Term Papers, Theses, and Dissertations, 6th ed., 1996.
(Copies available at Main and Science Library Reference and Reserve Desks call number LB2369 .T8 1996)
Note: Like the Chicago Manual of Style on which it is based, Turabian offers those in the natural and social sciences the option of using an author-date system with notes and parenthetical references. See chapters 10-11 of the Manual for details.

*"The place in the text where a note is introduced, whether footnote or endnote, is marked with an arabic numeral typed slightly above the line (superscript)" (8.7). "Note numbers preceding the footnotes themselves are preferably typed on the line, followed by a period. If the computer system used generates footnotes with superscript numbers, however, that is also acceptable" (8.10).
Format for Additional Note References 
"Once a work has been cited in complete form, later references to it are shortened. For this, either short titles or the Latin abbreviation ibid. (for ibidem, "in the same place") should be used" (8.84).
Use this form after the first full reference when there are no
intervening references:
Use this form when there are no intervening references and the reference is to a different page in the same work:
Use this form when there are intervening references between the first full reference and this one (book and article titles may be shortened):
2. Ibid.
3. Ibid., 68.
12. Sheehan, Bright Shining Lie, 425.
13. Ansen, "Spielberg's Obsession," 116.
