Forces: World War I: Citation & Noodletools Help

History courses at Lawrenceville require students to use Chicago/Turabian Citation Style.

In Chicago/Turabian Style, you will need to create two citations for each source:

• A full bibliographic citation (goes at the end of your paper on the Bibliography page; your sources should be listed in alphabetical order by author)
• A footnote (added at the end of the page where the source is referenced)

Only cite the information that is available to you. If you cannot identify a piece of the template [e.g. an author or date], leave it out rather than making it up.

For additional help with citation, use the libchat feature in this research guide or stop into the library to work with a librarian. 

Plan your paper:

• Use your own ideas.

• Use the ideas of others sparingly- only to support or reinforce your own argument.

Take Effective Notes:

• Use the Noodletools notecards tool or Google docs

• Include complete citation information 

Cite properly:

• Use quotation marks when directly stating another person’s work.

• When to cite?

  • When using a direct quote

  • Paraphrasing an idea from a text

  • Summarizing a text 

  • Using facts, information, and data, anything that is not common knowledge

  • When in doubt, cite! 

• Cite while you write -- do not leave your citations until the last minute.
