A shorter, printable version of this guide is also available: Chicago PDF (36 KB).

In-Text Citations and Formatting the Bibliography

   

Footnote and Bibliography Forms – Selected Common Source Types

The examples below are intended to approximate Chicago style footnote and bibliography entries for common source types, including line spacing and hanging indents.  Accordingly, narrow margins have been used in order to accommodate different browser window sizes.  In your paper, you should set one inch margins and half inch hanging indents.

For best results, open your browser window as wide as possible, as some of the lines may run together if viewed with a narrow browser window or with a large font size setting.  If you experience such difficulties with the lines, then you may wish to view the printable (PDF) version of this guide instead: Chicago PDF (36 KB).
