Documentation is key to building a bibliography. 1. Direct Quotes Lincoln appeals to the emotions of his audience during his first inaugural address: "The mystic chords of memory, stretching from every battle-field and patriot grave to every living heart and hearthstone all over this broad land, will yet swell the chorus of the Union when again touched, as surely they will be, by the better angels of our nature."1 1. Abraham Lincoln, “First Inaugural Address, 1861,” ed. K. W. Jennison, The Essential Lincoln, NewYork: Franklin Watts, 1971, 157-169. Direct Quotation It is best to use a direct quotation whenever…• The original text uses official, legal, or scientific terminology, • The original language is especially expressive, beautiful, or otherwise significant, • It is necessary to present someone’s exact words without any interpretation or change, • You wish first to present an author’s exact words, then to give your interpretation of those words. 2. Paraphrasing It’s not exactly what was said, but it still needs to be cited! Lincoln’s first inaugural address tugs at the heartstrings of his audience. He appeals to the people of North and South to remember their treasured shared heritage of constitutional government, so that the nation could continue united, despite ongoing disagreements. 2

(New York: Harcourt Why use Turabian? • Turabian is a student’s version of the Chicago Manual of Style. • Turabian (or Chicago) is the preferred citation style for history, political science, or religion. It can also used in literature, art and library science. • Turabian and Chicago styles are reviewed and brought up to date periodically. Citation Options Footnotes? Bibliography? Whatever happened to Parenthetical References and Works Cited? Although the Turabian Manual does have a parenthetical reference style, the footnote-bibliography style is required at UCC. So that’s what you’ll see here… What’s a Bibliography? • A bibliography is an alphabetical list of all the information sources used to research a topic. • For each source, full bibliographic detail is listed. This includes author, title, volume,place of publication, publisher, year of publication, page numbers, etc. • A bibliography is found at the end of a research paper. This is usually not annotated. • Annotated bibliographies contain a brief description of each source following the bibliographic entry.(Sample) Bibliography Barclay, Linwood. “Science Gives Aphrodite a Pain in the Butt.”

Sample Footnotes on a Page [Heading of the Paper] Suzy Smartstudent History XYZ [Text on Page of Paper] It was conventionally understood in the ancient world that women were to be silent in public places. Valerius Maximus refers scathingly to “those women whom neither the condition of their nature nor the cloak of modesty could keep silent in the Forum or the courts.23 Deutero-Paul advised churches to “suffer not a woman to teach…but to be in silence.”24 Argumentativeness in a woman was associated with “low morals.”25 __________________ 23.
