Chicago Style uses two different systems for citing. This guide focuses on Notes & Bibliography system, commonly used in the humanities. For more information on the Author-Date system used in the sciences, see the Chicago Manual of Style Online.
Even though you use footnotes/endnotes, a bibliography of all the sources cited must appear at the end of the work.
Chicago footnote & bibliography example:
Each time you refer to an outside source, it should be documented in a footnote or an endnote. Ask your professor which style you should use. The format of the footnote/endnote citation is different than that of the bibliography citation.
