Correctly citing information resources
belongs to the Use portion of “FRAU,”
using information ethically and legally.
Why Bibliographic Style Matters
• Accomplishes the goal of using
information ethically
• Ensures that important information
(dates, page numbers, etc.) will be
included in the paper
• Allows better focus on the paper’s
content and easier navigation through
the paper
About Turabian Style
• Use the Notes-Bibliography Style
(chapters 16-17 of Turabian)
• Helpful templates for notes and
bibliography entries for books and
journal articles are included in section
16.1
• Details for correctly citing journal
articles are in section 17.2
Bibliographic Software
• Examples include RefWorks, EndNotes
and Zotero
• Use your stylebook to clean up any
discrepancies between the softwaregenerated bibliographic information
and Turabian style
• Microsoft Word will easily add
footnotes using the Insert →
Reference → Footnote menu items
About Footnotes &
Bibliographies
• Footnotes tell readers where to find
the information you provided in a
specific place in your paper; one
resource may have several footnotes
• Bibliographies are a summary of all of
the resources used in writing the
paper; include only one entry per
resource
• Both use the same data elements –
just formatted differently
