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.
When Should I 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.
