CITING

Researchers use standard consistent citation formats to identify books, articles, etc., consulted and to give credit to their authors. As a university student, you are expected to follow the same guidelines. 

See the Library's Cite your sources  guide for help with the most common formats. Professors in history and some humanities courses usually require The Chicago Manual of Style.
