Turabian Citation Style Guide 9th Edition: H. E-Book

For each type of source in this guide, the general form and specific examples will be provided for both the Notes-Bibliography and the Author-Date style options of Turabian.

This information and several of the examples were drawn from A manual for writers of research papers, theses, and dissertations (9th edition). Numbers in parentheses refer to specific pages in the manual.

For further information, please ask your instructor or refer to the Turabian manual.

The Writing Center [TWC] is located on the first floor of the Library in room L101. Writing center staff will be available to help with your essays, research, and more.  

At the Writing Center, they can help with any writing assignment for any class at any stage in the process. That means they can help you:

• brainstorm a topic
• refine your thesis
• organize a rough draft
• practice paraphrasing or incorporating source material
• understand a citation style like MLA, APA, or Turabian
• revise your work before final submission
