Citation Styles

Chicago Manual of Style 18th Edition

After seven years, the Chicago Manual of Style has a new edition and a new look.  The 18th edition has been updated to answer your Chicago Style citation questions — for instance, now write french fries instead of French fries — and published with a bright yellow cover.  While we’re still waiting for our two new paper copies to arrive in Olin Library, the updated Chicago Manual of Style Online is available to you with your NetID and password.

We receive many questions about citation styles this time of year at Olin Library.  In addition to this online guide on Citation Styles: Handbooks, Resources, and Guides, library workers at Walk-in Reference are available seven days a week to help, with no appointment needed.  Connect over email, chat, or with a scheduled appointment with the Library’s Ask a Librarian service, or register for Use Zotero Effectively on September 27 and learn how to use this free research tool to create properly formatted citations in your papers.

Olin Library Services During Winter Construction

The Arts Quad is covered in fresh snow for the first week of classes.

Olin Library will be closed to the public from December 18 to January 12 as construction on the basement and first floor begins. Although the building will be closed, many library services are still available during this time. You’ll find our updated hours here.

Borrowing and delivery services will be available in Uris Library near the McGraw Tower entrance, and research help will be offered remotely by chat, email, phone, and Zoom.

All campus libraries will be closed for the campus winter break from December 23 through January 1.  We are closed, but our chat partners are not.

Library services will resume on January 2, and we anticipate returning to regular building hours on January 13.
