| Parenthetical References and Reference Lists |
This is a separate style of referencing works and should not be mixed with the conventions cited above. In this style citations of authors and works are placed in parentheses in the text of the document (Turabian 1996, 175-84). Make sure you use author's last name followed by the date, a comma and the page number(s). The bibliographical format is similar to that cited above, but note the placement of the date of publication immediately after the author's name (Turabian 1996, 182).

Footnotes can still be used, but only for content, not simply to cite a bibliographical work.
