What is an Annotated Bibliography?

What is 'Chicago' Referencing?

It is a type of referencing system used by students and academics at Sydney University and elsewhere, to arrange the information being referenced. The system is designed to make it easy for readers to trace the origin of information contained within a piece of writing - (there are other referencing systems used by different faculties within the University such as Harvard Sydney and APA - The Chicago Manual of Style 15th A, with Footnotes and Bibliography, is the reference style preferred at Sydney College of the Arts).

How do I Reference Correctly using this system?

A reference or citation consists of the elements that allow the reader to trace the original book or article you have read or cited from. When citing a book you need the following elements, in this order:

Author. Year of publication. Book title. City of publication: Name of the publisher.

For example, if you looked at a book with these elements:

Author: Mack, Charles

Year of publication: 2005

Title: Looking at the Renaissance: essays toward a conceptual appreciation

Publisher: Taylor & Francis

Place of Publication: London

Your citation would look like this:

Mack, C. Looking at the Renaissance: essays toward a conceptual appreciation. London: Taylor & Francis, 2005.

How do you cite URL’s in a bibliography?

You need to acknowledge the source of all material, which you access from the Web while researching and writing your essay. This material should be acknowledged with the same respect and detail that you use when recording information about journal articles and books in your bibliography and footnotes.

SCA is currently evolving its standards for citing internet electronic resources. When citing material from the internet please keep the following basic guidelines in mind. The underlying principles for referencing material available through the World Wide Web (Internet) are largely the same as for other formats. The additions for items read or acquired over the Internet are the format, version, file address, and the date retrieved or accessed.

The elements of online reference citations are:

Author's Surname And Initial(s)

Title Of The Article Or Document

Title Of The Book Or Publication

Format

Name Of The Publisher

Place Of Publication

Version

Year Of Publication

Address Or Location

Date Retrieved Or Accessed [In Square Brackets]

Not all elements will be present in each reference.

For many Internet resources the address will be the Uniform Resource Locator (URL)

This often takes a form similar to the following: http://www.biennaleofsydney.com.au/

The address, format and content of many electronic sources are inherently unstable, so it is recommended that the date of your visit to the host site be included along with the publication date of the material viewed where this is given.

For example:

Bird, N. 2000, Biennale of Sydney Media Release: Art in the Headlines (online), 20th May 1999

http://www.biennaleofsydney.com.au//news/mediarel/mr1999/mr99107.html [Accessed 30 November 2000]
