ARCH 530: Contemporary Architecture Theory: Cite Sources

The PSU Library provides online access to the Chicago Manual of Style Guide. There are two forms of Chicago style: the Notes & Bibliography format and the Author-Date format.

• The PSU Library also has a print copy of The Chicago Manual of Style on the second floor of the library behind the reference desk.

Chicago recommends placing the source information in parenthesis and/or in different type.

With these tools you can collect book and article citations from the library catalog and databases. Then using a plugin for MS Word, you can insert those citations into your paper in the appropriate format. 

See the library guide, Manage Citations with Zotero, Mendeley, and EndNote, on how to use these tools. The Library provides workshops and support for Zotero.
