Citing Your Sources

The Chicago Manual of Style Online is a searchable guide for the Chicago style of citation, editorial, and publishing practices. It includes 16th and 17th editions plus Q&A content, sample forms, letters, and style sheets, and other tools.

17th Edition Chicago-style citations utilize two distinct formats: the notes and bibliography format and the author-date format. Both formats usually include a separate bibliography page where all references are listed. Students should double-check with their instructors about which format is preferred.
