Chicago Style Footnotes
We're shifting from MLA to Chicago Style footnotes for the remainder of the semester. To get you up to speed, I've posted some basic instructions here (along with links to quizzes on Blackboard). Please do the quizzes in time for class, and post any questions or confusions in the comments below.
If you DON'T have a question, then instead please post a sentence from essay 1 where you cited a source, along with the relevant Works Cited entry. We'll use those to practice creating footnotes.
Queries
Is it possible to go over Ibid in class, I find it a little confusing.
Why do we use ibid and a page number to indicate a repeated source if the page number is the same?
If you are citing a source you have used previously in the essay, do you have to cite the entire thing again, or just put a simpler version of it? Or do you put something else entirely?
Why is there no comma after the Ibid example on the quiz when there was for the practice quiz (Ibid. p 93. vs Ibid., p 57)? What does Ibid stand for, and and when is an appropriate time to use it?
Also, is there never a need to add a url when using Chicago format? And how/when do we add editors, publishers, etc. to the citation?
If I am citing a really long online article that doesn’t have page numbers, is there a more specific way to indicate where a quote is from other than paragraph or section titles?
Why are there only sometimes parenthesis in the citations? For example in the note but not bibliography?
When citing a source again later in your essay, do you always use the book title or the chapter title, or whichever is shorter?
Do we primarily use commas instead of periods in this format?
Can you say “According to ___” or just not include the source depending on the type of source that you’re using?
During his expedition, it seemed he “imagined himself as Christopher the Christ-bearer, girding the Earth with the gospel”(Armitage 51)
This can be seen in the patronizing way Columbus addresses the king and queen as “Your Highnesses, as Catholic Christians, and princes who love and promote the holy Christian faith” (Columbus).
why are we using both endnotes and bibliography?
So as to abbreviate the infinite classifications of colonization, only the primary forms applicable to Columbus’s colonization will be presented: trade colonization, imperial power colonization, extractive colonization, and missionary colonization (Shoemaker).
