1. Note Placement
Place a superscript number at the end
of the clause or sentence that
references the source.
The note should be placed after all
punctuation except for dashes.

2. Note Placement
It’ll look something like this:
Students having a hard time finding
databases isn't a new phenomenon.At the
University ofWashington, they have
problems too. “With the addition of so many
new databases to the campus online system,
many students were having difficulty locating
the database they needed.”2

3. Footnote Format
At the bottom of the page, provide a
shortened form of information about
the source.
 the author’s last name
 the shortened title of the source
 the page where you found the information

4. Footnote Format

the footnote with commas, not
periods.

5. Footnote Format
It’ll look something like this:
2. Eliasen et al., "NavigatingOnline Menus," 510.

6. Footnote Format
If you cite the same source and the same
page consecutive times, use the word
“Ibid” in the footnote. (“Ibid” is a
shortened form of the Latin word ibidem,
meaning “in the same place.”) Like this:
3. Ibid.

7. Footnote Format
If you cite the same source but a
different page, use the word “Ibid” and
follow it with a comma and that
different page number. It’ll look like this:
4. Ibid, 512.
