Slide 1: Do I use Notes-Bibliography or Author-Date??

 

Notes-Bibliography: typically humanities (languages, literature, etc.) and the arts (music, dance, theater, visual arts)

Author-Date: typically STEM-related (natural sciences, social sciences, math, etc.)


Slide 2: What’s the difference?

 

Notes-Bibliography: uses footnotes or endnotes in addition to a bibliography at the end of the work

Author-Date: uses in-text citations in addition to a bibliography at the end of the work


Slide 3: Footnotes VS Endnotes (Notes-Bibliography)

Footnotes and Endnotes are formatted the same, but:

Footnotes: appear at the foot of the page

Endnotes: appears at the end of a work/chapter of a work

Ask your professor if footnotes or endnotes are preferred for your assignment! 


Slide 4: Foot/Endnotes VS Bibliography (Notes-Bibliography)

 

Foot/Endnotes: Generally the author (first name - last name), title, publication info - separated by commas and parentheses

Bibliography: Author (last name written first), title, publication info - most sections separated by periods


Slide 5: Foot/Endnotes VS Bibliography (Notes-Bibliography): Examples

 

Foot/Endnotes: 

  1. Don DeLillo, Zero K (New York: Scribner, 2016), 102-103. 

Bibliography:

DeLillo, Don.  Zero K. New York: Scribner, 2016.

(Note: Book title is italicized)


Slide 6: In-Text Citations (Author-Date)

 

Usually appears in parentheses. Only includes author and year of publication (hence the system name, “Author-Date”), with no punctuation

Page number(s) can be added following a comma after author/date


Slide 7: In-Text Citations VS Bibliography (Author-Date)

 

In-Text Citations: Only the author last name and date of publication, as well as page number(s) as necessary

Bibliography: Author (last name written first), publication year, title, the rest of the publication info - most sections separated by periods 

(NOTE: bibliographies in Notes-Bibliography and Author-Date styles are slightly different! Be careful!)


Slide 8: In-Text Citations VS Bibliography (Author-Date): Examples

 

In-Text Citation:

(DeLillo 2016)

In-Text Citation with page numbers:

(DeLillo 2016, 102-103)

Bibliography:

DeLillo, Don. 2016.  Zero K. New York: Scribner.

Note: the title of the work is italicized.


Slide 9: Pro-Tip: Don’t use citation generators!!

 

These are enticing, but are often inconsistent and stock full of errors!

Always consult an official guide when putting together your citations!


Slide 10: Pro-Tip: For foot/endnotes, use automated numbering!

 

Take advantage of Microsoft Word’s foot/endnote numbering system, and/or software like Zotero!

That way, if you end up adding or deleting foot/endnotes, the program will automatically renumber your notes!


Slide 11: Pro-Tip: Questions? Ask a Librarian!
