Using Style Sheets. By Jean Weber

Style Manuals describe the accepted format for citing resources and references, but they also include a variety of other information that is useful for writers and editors such as general rules of punctuation, formatting footnotes, spacing, indention, form of author's name, etc.

Some of the most common Style Manuals:

• Use APA for papers in psychology, education, and the other social sciences.
• Use MLA for papers in literature, arts, and humanities.
• Use Chicago for books, magazines, newspapers, etc.
  
  
•  Turabian is designed for college students to use with all subjects.

Other Manuals:

• AMA (Himmelfarb Health Sciences Library Guide) : medicine, health, and biological sciences.
