Chicago style refers to the citation format established by the University of Chicago Press. A slightly modified version of Chicago Style, intended for writers of research papers, is known as Turabian style after its creator, Kate Turabian. Differences between the two styles are minor, so they are presented together. Chicago/Turabian style supports two citation systems: the Notes and Bibliography system is traditionally used in the arts and humanities, and the Author-Date system is recommended for the natural sciences and social sciences. The following pages provide examples of how to cite information resources using both systems.

For more information, consult The Chicago Manual of Style (fifteenth edition, call number Z253 .C57), or A Manual for Writers of Research Papers, Theses, and Dissertations by Kate Turabian (call number LB2369 .T8), both located at the Davis and UL reference desks.
