James M. Milne Library Chicago Style Guide Notes-Bibliography Style The following rules and examples are based on the The Chicago Manual of Style, 16th ed. (REF Z253.U69 2010). More extensive examples and detailed instructions can be found in the manual. The Notes-Bibliography (NB) format is mostly used to cite items in History and other humanities.

Blog NOTES Notes citations follow the same form if they are footnotes (at the bottom of the page) or endnotes (at the end of the chapter or work). Notes numbering should begin at 1 and continue consecutively throughout an article or chapter. Each new article or chapter should start again at 1. The number should come at the end of a sentence or clause, and be in superscript type. A foot or endnote should be indented two spaces, followed by the note number, a period, and a space. Titles should be capitalized headline style, which means capitalize the important words. To reduce the amount of space taken by foot or endnotes, subsequent citations to the same work should be shortened if possible. The short form should include the author s last name, enough words of the title to identify it, and the page number. If there are two authors, the citation should include both names; if there are more than two, use the first author s name and add et al. If you are citing from two different sources, put a ; between them. 1
1. Soltes, Georgia, 285; Silverstein, Sir Gawain, 38. If you cite an item, and the next citation is from the same source, use the word Ibid. Ibid. is short for ibidem, which means in the same place. If the citation is from the same page, only Ibid. is needed. If the citation is from a different page, use Ibid., page number. BIBILOGRAPHY References are arranged in alphabetical order by author s last name. If a source has no author, alphabetize by title and interfile with the list of authors. Ignore initial articles (a, an, the, la, los, eine) in the titles when alphabetizing. Bibliography entries should not be numbered, and there should be double-spaces between entries. Citations should be formatted using hanging indents. In MS Word 2007, the Paragraph section is under the Home tab. When there is more than one citation by the same author or authors, replace the subsequent name(s) with a 3-em dash (or six hyphens, followed by a period or comma, depending on which would normally follow the name.
