The Chicago Manual of Style presents two basic documentation systems:
1) The notes and bibliography (NB) style is preferred by many in the humanities, including those in literature, history, and the arts. This style presents bibliographic information in notes and, often, a bibliography.
2) The author-date system has long been used by those in the physical, natural, and social sciences. In this system, sources are briefly cited in the text, usually in parentheses, by author’s last name and date of publication. The short citations are amplified in a list of references, where full bibliographic information is provided.
*If you are asked to use Chicago NB format, be sure to consult The Chicago Manual of Style, 16th edition, and/or A Manual for Writers of Research Papers, Theses, and Dissertations, 7th edition.

Header- Chicago does not provide guidelines for the use of headings.
Page # - In top right-hand corner of every page after the cover page place your last name and page number. Example: Jones 1
Footnotes and Endnotes – Endnotes and the 1st footnote entry are formatted the same way (see “Formatting- Quick Reference Cont. FOOTNOTES” box for more info.). Footnote Vs. Endnote - if your Professor or department doesn't specify a preferred format use footnotes. It is easier for the reader to look at the bottom of page instead of stopping and flip to the back of the paper every time they want to check the citation. (How Do I Do That Video)
Bibliography – appears at the end of the paper and lists every work you have cited (you may include works that you consulted but did not cite) arrange alphabetically by author or editors last name. All lines after the fist are indented. Format:
Example: Brown, Raymond Edward. An Introduction to the New Testament. New York: Doubleday, 1997.
(note: you may add full-sentence annotations describing the work's relevance.)
Quotes longer than 4 lines? – You can choose to create a block quote by indenting one-half inch (one "tab" key). Then enter the quote double space and without quotations and with citation number at the end of the quote. You must create a block quote for ten or more lines. Example (scroll to page 11)
Quotes & Punctuation - ...the end."[1]
Punctuation- precedes citation number. Example: …the end.[2]
