Chicago Style - Citing Printed Sources
HCCC Library Quick Reference Guide
Please see The Chicago Manual of Style (Ref. PN147 .U69 2003) for more information. The Chicago Style supports two
citation systems, one for the arts and humanities (the "Notes and Bibliography" system) and the other for the natural
sciences and social sciences (the "AuthorDate" system). This guide provides examples for listing resources at the end of
a research paper, using both systems. You may also find information on the Chicago citation format on the
Documentation Questions and Answers page (http://www.chicagomanualofstyle.org/home.html) of the Chicago Manual of
Style Web site.
