 MODEL FOOTNOTES AND BIBLIOGRAPHY ENTRIES
based on Chicago Manual of Style, 17th ed.

The model footnote shows the format you should use when citing a source for the first time. For subsequent citations of a source, see General Rules below.

HOW TO FORMAT YOUR BIBLIOGRAPHY:

  • Center the word Bibliography at the top

  • Use 12 point font

  • Use 1” margins

  • Leave two blank lines between the heading "Bibliography" and your first entry.

  • Single space all entries with an extra line between entries.

  • Each entry begins at the left margin with subsequent lines indented (hanging indentation.)

  • Alphabetize entries by author's last name (or title, if there is no author.)

  • Always use publication dates instead of access dates, unless requested by your teacher.  If used, accessed dates are placed after the publication information, but before the URL.  Use "Accessed on May 26, 2017" format.

  • If you cannot ascertain the publication date of a printed work, use the abbreviation "n.d."

  • Remove any active hyperlinks.

AUTHORS

  • For two to three authors, write out all names. 
  • For four to ten authors, write out all names in the bibliography but only the first author’s name plus “et al.” in footnotes. 
  • When a source has no identifiable author, cite it by its title.

HOW TO FORMAT YOUR FOOTNOTES:

  • Footnotes are sequential in number and the numbers do not repeat within your paper.
  • Footnotes appear at the bottom of each page where notes are inserted in the text.  
  • No line spacing is needed between each entry. 

FIRST AND SUBSEQUENT FOOTNOTES:

The first time you cite a source, the note should include the full publishing information for that work as well as the page number on which the passage being cited is found.  If no page number is available, you have other options: section (sec.), paragraph (para.), or volume (vol.).

1. Peter Burchard, One Gallant Rush: Robert Gould Shaw and His Brave Black Regiment (New York: St. Martin's, 1965), 85.

For subsequent references later in your paper to a source you have already cited, you may simply give the author's last name, a short form of the title (no need for the subtitle), and the page or pages cited. A book title is italicized; an article title is put in quotation marks.

5. Burchard, One Gallant Rush, 31.

When you have two consecutive footnotes from the same source, use the shortened form, with page number specified. 

8. Jack Hurst, Nathan Bedford Forrest: A Biography (New York: Knopf, 1993), 8.

9. Hurst, Nathan Bedford Forrest, 174.
