There are a number of resources to help you cite using Turabian Formatting Style:
1. Kate Turabian’s A Manual for Writers (8th edition): Use chapters 16 and 17, not 18 and 19. The library does have a number of physical copies of this manual and the call number is LB2369 .T8 2013.
2. The Chicago Manual of Style's resources on The Chicago Manual of Style - Official Turabian Quick Guide.
3. Ebscohost citations: If you find an article in an Ebscohost database, click on the article and on the upper right-hand corner, there will be a symbol shaped like a quotation mark. Click here and you will have the citation for the article. Always double check to make sure this citation is properly formatted. For Seminary papers, use the Chicago/Turabian:Humanities format. This format says that all "important" words are to be capitalized, so often the capitalization has to be changed. Other databases such as ProQuest may have citation tools similar to Ebscohost.
4. The Jerry Falwell Library Resources for Graduate Divinity Students video series includes information on Turabian formatting in Section 10.
In addition to these resources, the Online Writing Center is available for draft reviews and direct questions via live chat or email on the Online Writing Center. The Online Writing Center is the authority at Liberty University regarding citations and formatting. They also have a Turabian Format Quick Guide which includes citation examples, format rules, sample papers, and templates.
