The C
hicago Manual of Style is published by the University of Chicago Press. It started out as a guide for professors at the University who were preparing scholarly articles and books for publication, and over the past century has become a standard citation style for researchers everywhere. NCC students use it most often in Philosophy and History courses.
If your instructor has asked you to use Chicago style, and you need help constructing citations, go to the Library's "Citing Sources" web page for assistance.
