The Notes and Bibliography system of citation is used in the humanities, and especially in History courses. An excellent guide can be found on the Chicago Manual of Style website: https://www.chicagomanualofstyle.org/tools_citationguide/citation-guide-1.html
This guide provides examples of how to cite sources commonly used by Selkirk College students.
When you use another person's ideas in your paper, even if you put the author's ideas into your own words, you must cite (i.e. credit) the source.
