What's the difference in Turabian and MLA? All my papers for grad school have to be in cited in Turabian? I looked up some examples online and they look very close. I'm trying to avoid buying the Turabian book.

Turabian is all footnotes.

So it doesn't go at the end of the paper, but rather at the bottom of the page?

[SuperJon]

Right.

Turabian & MLA are nothing alike. MLA uses (author page) citations; Turabian uses footnotes.

If you want a good website that explains the differences, go to the LU Writing Center's web page: http://www.liberty.edu/academics/gradua ... ?PID=17176

if you have word 2007, it will handle all the formatting for the references, just have to make sure to use footnotes or in-text citations.

it still has to go at the end of the page, but there are footnotes

I looked at that but it doesn't really have any kind of citation for the footnotes.
