This guide will help you cite sources in the Turabian/Chicago Style.

About Citing Other Items

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.

Lectures

For Notes-Bibliography style, cite unpublished lectures or papers by including a note and bibliographic entry. For the note, include the sponsorship, location, and date of meeting where the lecture or paper was presented and put this information in parentheses but exclude the parentheses in the bibliography. If item was accessed online, include the access date and URL (p. 194).

 

When using Author-Date style, include similar information as with the Notes-Bibliography style. The word unpublished is not required (p. 257).
