It is crucial to properly reference information that is not your own in order to give credit where it’s due and also to avoid PLAGIARISM. Providing your teacher with a URL for a website used unfortunately will not cut it anymore
Using the following information will put you on the right track to creating a bibliography to be proud of! (Remember to keep track of where you found your information so that formatting your bibliography will be a breeze!)

You’ll be back in the library later this week to learn about APA Citation.
Welcome to the library, Ms. Parsekhian’s HZT4U class! You’re here today for a review of how to cite sources (including your textbook) in bibliographic format using the Chicago school of citation for your Finding (a) Meaning to Life Assignment.
We have provided a handy PDF to refresh your memory of what a Bibliography looks like in Chicago style format. Remember: you aren’t expected to memorize this but be able to locate examples that will serve as a guide to formatting your own sources.
Chicago-Citation-at-LaurierIf you choose to use a photograph or piece of art, song lyrics or quotes by someone other than yourself, you’ll need to give them credit.
Purdue University’s Online Writing Lab (OWL Purdue) is our go-to for citation needs. Within this website, you may need to look at Book, Web Sources & Miscellaneous Sources to see proper formatting of your textbook, websites and images.
Using the Virtual Library, we recommend Britannica ImageQuest (the user ID is trillium and the password is trillium) which also has a built-in citation tool-(remember for this assignment you are using Chicago) and Creative Commons for images that are in the public domain and therefore free to use as they are covered by Creative Common Licences. They still require referencing, however.
Google is often our quickest and easiest option but you cannot cite Google as a source for a visual found in Google Images. You will need to become familiar with the Tools feature within Images which leads you to Usage Rights and images that have Creative Commons Licences. Your goal is to find the source/creator of the visual and as much detail as possible about the image. Pexels, Unsplash, Pixabay and Wikimedia Commons options for public domain images that have Creative Common Licences.
For famous quotes, you may simply use Google but a website like Goodreads will generate a list of famous quotes for you, often providing linked website (click on the picture to) for further reading as well as citation purposes.
Finally, if you find the perfect quote, try to locate the most academic source possible. However, if this is problematic, ensure that you still cite the web source appropriately.
Ms. Parsekhian’s Philosophy class is coming in to refresh their memories of the basics of using Chicago style of Citation.
Chicago-Student-GuideYou’re now all experts (right?) in terms of creating a Bibliography. Congratulations. That’s no small feat.
The next step is to master the Footnote.
While a Bibliography provides your reader with a list of every resource you utilized, a Footnote shows from where every piece of research originated.
These footnotes should correspond with what you find in the Bibliography.
Chicago-Citation-at-LaurierRemember to look to OWL @ Purdue for other questions that arise about citation. It’s where Ms. Kelso or Ms. Vilicic go when we’re looking for information about citation.
Look at this slide show for basics on how/where/when to use the Footnotes.
In terms of research, the following databases as well as the Virtual Library are a good start.
Here are some links to primary sources that you might find useful:
Classical and Medieval Sources of Natural Law
Welcome to the Library, Ms. Savage’s HSP3U Class!
Ms. Savage’s Grade 11 Introduction to Anthropology, Psychology, and Sociology class will be coming to the Virtual Library to research their Mental Illness Case File assignment and review how to create a Bibliography using Chicago Style Citation.
For this assignment, you’ll need quality resources from different areas.
Resources for the HSP3U
If we were at school, we would be showing you our fairly extensive collection of books on many of your topics. In lieu of this, Ms. Savage has shared with you the Toronto Public Library’s Overdrive Access information so that you are able to obtain information from their e-book collection.
To access media resources, use our Catalogue; found on the Virtual Library. The Catalogue provides you access to streaming video and other digital resources. You’ll need to log in with your TDSB information to access the Catalogue as well as use the digital learnmark for passwords to Learn360 and CBC Curio. (see note in red below)
To access a reliable database such as Advanced Placement Source, you’ll need to go through the Virtual Library, click on the yellow FIND button, choose Grades 9-12 and it will be the first entry you see. It is Password Protected. The login and passwords for EBSCO databases like AP Source and Global Issues in Context are listed on the digital learnmark accessible on the home page of the Virtual Library in the top right corner.
The Centre for Addiction and Mental Health (CAMH) is also a great resource accessed through the Virtual Library as well. It is not password protected.
Other online sites can be useful too and we have added some links here to a few that we think may be helpful.
A valuable resource is the Vanier Institute of the Family, which has excellent research on mental health and its impact upon families. Use the Search feature to find information on your illness/disorder.
The Government of Canada website may be helpful.
Using the search box in Healthlink B.C.’s website , may help you find information about your topic as a starting point.
Quebec’s government webpage for mental health may also yield some initial results.
There are websites and organizations specific to some illnesses such as Tourette’s Syndrome so that may be an option to look into as you are researching.
Citation
You will be using the 17th updated version of the Chicago Manual of Style.
The new file can be found here at Chicago Citation at Laurier.
The basics are unchanged, but we feel that this new resource will provide you with a thorough overview of the expectations laid out by the 17th Edition of the Chicago Manual of Style. Remember to use Ms. Magson’s example Bibliography as posted in your classroom for details specific to your class.
Citing Videos
You’ll find all manners of differing opinions on how to cite videos. To be honest, it can be daunting. If you’re citing a video that you found online, it’s probably best to go straight to the Chicago Manual of Style.
Section 14.280 of the Manual list the elements of an online video citation:
As always, we direct you to using OWLPurdue for more examples or to answer citation questions.
