Chicago Style (Notes/Bibliography format)

Chicago Style - Notes/Bibliography System

Chicago style has two distinct documentation styles: the Notes and Bibliography system and the Author-Date system.

The Notes and Bibliography system is often used by those in literature, history, and the arts.
The Author-Date system is most often used by those in the physical, natural, and social sciences.
Be sure to know which your professor requires.
Most faculty (including Hannah Powers and Michael Sunblad) who require Chicago format at Thomas Nelson want you to use the: Notes and Bibliography system
This guide provides information about solely the Notes and Bibliography system.
