| Special Features | Please note. Chapter 14 includes the Notes-Bibliography reference structure used in History, and Chapter 15 demonstrates the Author-Date reference style used in some of the Criminal Justice classes. The other chapters cover general formatting and usage questions which apply to papers using both citation styles. The general usage notes cover items such as punctuation, spelling, word choice, numbers, foreign language expressions and more. The Chicago-Style Citation Quick Guide is an excellent quick reference for various source types, for either the notes or the author-date style. |
