Notes and Bibliography system
IT’S ALWAYS THE SAME 4 THINGS:
WHO wrote it
WHAT did they call it
WHEN was it published
WHERE did it appear
Notes and Bibliography?
In-text citations use footnotes, not parentheses.
Bibliography = a Works Cited/References by any other name…
Notes on Footnotes
Numbered consecutively, even when referring to the same source multiple timesSo you have footnotes 1, 2, 3, 4, 5…Not 1, 2, 3, 1, 1, 4, 2, 5
Notes on Footnotes
First time using a source: full footnoteSecond+ times: condensed note

Bibliography Deja Vu
It will feel just like your footnotes, but different.
Also MLA-ish, but different.
