Q. How do I cite in Chicago style?

Like MLA or APA, Chicago style is used to cite sources in a paper or project. Chicago style is primarily used in humanities related disciplines. Within Chicago style there are two methods of citing in text:

• Notes-Bibliography (NB) which uses footnotes or endnotes to cite in-text.
• Author-Date which uses parenthetical citations to cite in-text.

Use the following resources to assist with citing in Chicago Style:

• The Chicago Manual of Style Online
  • Note: The Bentley Library does not subscribe to CMOS online, but some content is available for free such as the Quick Citation guides.
• Purdue OWL: Chicago Manual of Style 17th Edition
• A print copy of the Chicago Manual of Style (17th edition) is available at the Reference Desk.

If you have questions regarding citing, please contact a librarian at the reference desk or contact the Writing Center.
