Footnotes and Bibliographic Entries


(Turabian/Chicago Citation Style)

Dr. David Clearwater


Last Updated: February 2010

1
This is a brief guide that will help you to properly format footnotes and bibliographic
entries for common types of reference materials. It is based on Chicago Manual of Style
format as covered in A Manual for Writers of Term Papers, Theses, and Dissertations, by
Kate L. Turabian. The book is available in the UofL Library in the reference section and
main collection (Call number: LB 2369 T8 1987).

For more information on the Turabian Citation Style (Footnotes/Bibliography) or other


citation styles, see the resources listed at the University Library website:
[http://www.uleth.ca/lib/guides/research/display.asp?PageID=1]. Here, you will find
more detailed examples and other resources.

Legend for the following examples:

FN – style for footnote, reference to a specific page or specific pages.


SF – style for subsequent footnotes, reference to a specific page or specific pages.
B – style for bibliographic entry; you do not have to give a page range for a book,
give page range for journal article or single essay.

Note: arrange your bibliography in alphabetical order by the last name of the
author.

Book with single author:


FN (footnote, the first time you quote from a source):
Stephen Kern, The Culture of Time and Space (Cambridge: Harvard University Press,
1983), 55.

Press, 1983.

Websites (a suggested format):

June 27, 2001. http://www.ring.sfu.ca/media/history/archive.html (accessed 15
May 2006).

Websites are often difficult to cite, but you should try to provide:
- The name of the author(s),
- The title of the document as it appears on the website,
- The organization providing the information (if applicable),
- The specific address or URL. Some servers will generate pages ‘on the fly,’
which result in very long web addresses. If this is the case, just provide the
general URL of the website (i.e. www.imdb.com).
- The date of the document/web page
- The date you last accessed the page.

Filmography: (List films separately from your bibliography)
Note: this style does not follow the Turabian style for videorecordings, this is just a
suggested format. You can find the name(s) of the director, year and country of
production on the DVD jacket or at a film website like Internet Movie Database
[http://www.imdb.com].
FN:
Peter Greenaway, dir., The Belly of an Architect (Britain, 1987).
SF:
Greenaway, dir., Belly of an Architect.
B:
Greenaway, Peter, dir. The Belly of an Architect. Britain, 1987.

Video Games (List video games separately in your bibliography):


Again, this is a suggested format. To cite video games, make sure to cite the specific
version you played (i.e. PC, PS2, GameCube, etc.) and to provide information on both
the developer and publisher. Also, some games are released worldwide at different
times, so use the year of publication for the specific version (i.e. North American) that
you used. You can find publishing information at websites like IGN
(http://games.ign.com/) or GameSpot (http://gamespot.com/).

FN:
Beyond Good and Evil (PS2 version), Ubisoft (Ubisoft, 2002).
SF:
Beyond Good and Evil (PS2 version).
B:
Beyond Good and Evil (PS2 version). Developer: Ubisoft / publisher: Ubisoft, 2002.
Another example:
FN:
Shadow of the Colossus (PS2 version), SCEI (Sony Computer Entertainment, 2005).
SF:
Shadow of the Colossus (PS2 version).
B:

Entertainment, 2005.
