Hi everyone,

I called the Baruch library today and they told me that unfortunately, because of prohibitive costs and low usage, Baruch no longer gets an electronic version of the Chicago Manual of Style. However, the NYPL does offer electronic access to anyone with a valid NYPL card (you should all have one, even if you don’t live in NYC, and they are very easy to get at any branch). Here is the link for the NYPL record.

The Baruch library does have a print version in the non-circulating reference section, available at this call no.: Z253 .U69 2017 (Reference 2nd floor).

The basic information about Chicago style citation is available at the Purdue OWL site. However, remember that for reference lists when using Author-Date citations (as we are), the year comes directly after the authors. Additionally, we are not requiring you to list the “Accessed” date for online articles or journal articles accessed online.

Literally any question about the minutiae of citation can be answered by looking through the Chicago Manual, so if you have a question that is not answered on the OWL site, use the NYPL’s electronic access to the full version or go to the Baruch library reference section to consult the print version. The 17th ed. is the most recent.
