Maintaining an Annotated Bibliography
- An annotated bibliography is a list of all your sources, including full citation information and notes on how you will use the sources.
- Annotated bibliographies are useful for several reasons.
- If you keep one while you research, the annotated bibliography will function as a useful guide.
- If you find an annotated bibliography attached to one of the sources you are using, you can look at it to find other possible resources.
- The first part of each entry in an annotated bibliography is the source's full citation.

Chicago/Turabian (NB): The Bibliography Section
- In Chicago NB style, the sources you cite in your paper are listed at the end in the bibliography.
- In Chicago/Turabian papers using the Notes and Bibliography (NB) citation system, all the sources you cite throughout the text of your paper are listed together and in full in the bibliography, which comes after the main text of your paper.
- You should first order those articles alphabetically by source title in the bibliography.

When to Use Chicago/Turabian Style
- The most recent edition of The Chicago Manual of Style permits the use of both in-text citation systems ("Author–Date" style, which is usually used in the social sciences) or footnotes and endnotes (this is called "Notes and bibliography" style, which is usually used in the humanities).
- It can give information about in-text citation by page number or by year of publication; it even provides for variations in styles of footnotes and endnotes, depending on whether the paper includes a full bibliography at the end.
