The Writing Center can provide feedback and guidance for research assignments and other writing-intensive projects. 

Chicago Manual of Style Resources

Listed below are library and open web resources that provide additional information about formatting citations according to the Chicago Manual of  Style. The research assignments for this course use Chicago Manual of Style Author-Date format which means that the reference page will list the author's last and first name, followed by the publication date and other citation details. 

You may find that the library does not have the book or article you need to support your research. If this happens, you can submit an interlibrary loan request and we will get it from another library.
