Chicago Manual of Style

You will be using the Chicago Manual of Style, Notes and Bibliography.  This citation system is used for citing the sources you used in your research paper. This is very important to do because it means you are acknowledging, and giving credit, to the creator of the source. 

Start at Library homepage
Go to Research Tools > Citing Sources
Click on Chicago/Turabian Style

Use the notes and bibliography style for citing your sources.
     Under History > Chicago/Turabian Basics it states "the notes and bibliography style is preferred by many
     in the humanities, including ... the arts."

On this page you can see that there are copies of CMoS (Chicago Manual of Style) in print and online

Discographies

EXAMPLE:
"
Song Title." Album Title, Record Label, Year of Release. Artist. Album Title, Record Label, Year of Release.


ANNOTATION SUGGESTION:
In the discographies, explain the relevance of the recordings you used in your paper.
