Chicago Style, 17th Edition
The Chicago Manual of Style is actually comprised of two distinct styles: the Notes-Bibliography system and the Author-Date system. The basic elements for citing using either system are laid out below. Please consult The Chicago Manual of Style, 17th edition, The Chicago Manual of Style Online or Ask-A-Librarian for more information.
The Notes-Bibliography system is often used by those in the humanities, including literature, history and the arts. This system uses numbered footnotes to cite sources. These footnotes correspond to raised numbers (superscripts) in the text. In addition, the sources are also usually listed in a bibliography.
