One Last Thing

•Why?•We need to suppress the header on the

first page of a multi-page report.•If your title page is the first page of your

report, your header will still appear on page 1

BibliographyHow to Cite Others Using the Turabian Style

Would You Take Candy from a Baby?•Use other people’s work to prove your

point•Copying is like taking candy from a baby,

but…•Copying without referencing the source is

plagiarism, which is illegal•We have to reference our sources•Writing that is backed up by other sources

has more credibility

• Academic standards for copyrighted material are higher than others. Because scholars and researchers study so many

different ideas and are responsible for sharing those ideas with the world, they are required to satisfy higher standards

of honesty. They must give credit not only when quoting someone else's exact words but also for the ideas those

words represent. As a researcher, you cannot paraphrase what someone else says and not give credit for it.

Referencing Styles

•We reference works using the Turabian style

•Turabian style says that we must use a bibliography with footnotes/endnotes

Referencing Styles

•There are many different style guides published as books for writers to use such as Chicago, APA, MLA…

•They are all somewhat similar

•The style to use depends on which your teacher asks you to use
