Information Quality
Four pillars of IQ•Find•Retrieve•Analyze•Use Correctly citing resources helps you use information in a scholarly and ethical manner.
Academic Writing
• Requires acknowledgement of source material.
• Employs widely used conventions to cite sources.
• APTS expects students to understand how to cite sources and to do so using the Turabian style guide.
Turabian Style at APTS
• We use notes-bibliography style:
– Footnotes at the bottom of pages– A bibliography at the end of the
paper
• See Turabian section 15.3.1
Today’s Focus
• The correct format for citing books:
–What you put in the footnote–What you put in the bibliography
Footnote: First Mention
Author, title, facts of publication, and page numbers
1. Bruce Gordon, Calvin (New Haven: Yale University Press, 2009), vii-xi.
2. David H. Jensen, Responsive Labor: A Theology of Work (Louisville: Westminster John Knox Press, 2006), 18-19.
Footnote: Details
• Author’s first name then surname• Use italic font for the title• Put parentheses around place of
publication, press and year• Don’t use “p.2”; simply record page
numbers in numerals• Indent the note like a paragraph• The only period is at the end
Footnote: Subsequent Citations
• Throughout the rest of the paper, use a shortened form (author surname, title, page or pages).
• Thus:3. Gordon, Calvin, 25-39.4. Jensen, Responsive Labor, 57.5. Ibid., 13-14.
Citation in Bibliography
• The entry in the bibliography contains the same information as in a footnote (first mention), but in a different form:
Jensen, David H. Responsive Labor: A Theology of Work. Louisville: Westminster John Knox Press, 2006.
Bibliography: Details
• Last name of author, then first name• No parentheses around publication
information• Uses periods between elements• No page numbers• Uses hanging indent (first line is flush
left; other lines are indented); this command in MS Word is under paragraph formatting

• This talk discussed the simplest case, a book by a single author
