More on referencing
All information taken from the sources you consult must be properly referenced.
Historians use Chicago style (footnotes), as opposed to APA or MLA. Refer to the handout entitled Footnotes & Quotes that is posted on Omnivox for instructions. If you have questions about proper citation style, please see me.
