Research Toolkit: Citing Your Sources

Quick Guide

Turabian is the student~ version of The Chicago Manual of Style and aims to simplify some of the quirks of Chicago. 

 

Citations are very formulaic, so follow the guides as closely as possible. If you find a resource you're unsure how to cite, check out Purdue's Online Writing Lab (OWL), the Turabian Style Guide in the library, or email Sarah.
