How to Use Turabian
Mark pp. 143-145 (quick guide) and Chapter 17
(detailed instructions for varied types of
sources)—these are examples of citation that
you only need to copy.
Use the rest of the book only to look up specific
questions of style.
Determine the type of source you need to cite.
Distinguish between N (notes ) and B
(bibliography).
Copy the format, paying close attention to
punctuation, italicization, and abbreviations.
Elements of a Bibliographic Entry
Who wrote, edited, or translated the text?
What data identify the text (title, subtitle,
journal title, volume, pages, etc.)?
Who published the text, and when?
The entry elements (author, title, facts of
publication) are separated by periods in
the bibliography. Author names are
inverted for alphabetization, and full page
spans are given.
Turabian, pp. 143-145
Formatting the Bibliography
Title it SELECTED BIBLIOGRAPHY (centered).
Do not number entries.
Some sources are omitted from the bibliography
(encyclopedias, newspaper articles, etc.—see
p.150)
Entries use a hanging indent.
Alphabetize the entries by author’s last name.
See Turabian appendix, Figure A15, for a format
sample.
