Overview
This lecture provides a step-by-step guide on how to cite sources using Chicago/Turabian Style, focusing on endnotes and bibliographies.
Inserting Endnote Markers
- Insert a numeric endnote marker in your paper where you cite a source.
- Use Microsoft Word’s "Insert Endnote" function on the References tab.
- Ensure markers use Arabic numerals (1, 2, 3, etc.).
Writing Endnotes
- Add citation details in an endnote at the end of your paper.
- Typical book endnote format: endnote number, author's first and last name, title in italics, publication information in parentheses or brackets, page number.
- Citation details and format vary depending on source type (e.g., magazine, website).
Citing While Writing
- Continue to add endnote markers and corresponding citation details as you write, even if citing the same source more than once.
Creating a Bibliography
- After finishing your paper, add a bibliography listing each source once.
- Bibliography entries differ from endnotes: no note numbers, author’s last name first, and different punctuation (periods vs. commas).
Key Terms & Definitions
- Endnote — A numbered citation appearing at the end of a paper, giving details of the source.
- Bibliography — A list of all sources used in your paper, each listed once.
- Arabic numerals — Standard numbers (1, 2, 3, etc.), not Roman numerals (I, II, III, etc.).
Action Items / Next Steps
- Consult the Chicago/Turabian web page for detailed rules and source-specific citation examples.
- Practice formatting both endnotes and bibliography entries accurately for various source types.
