MLA Differences: Chicago Style Vs. MLA

Improved Essays
Chicago Style is different from MLA, but it is also similar to MLA in some aspects. One way that Chicago Style is different from MLA is the rule, for Chicago Style, that states when one cites the same source and page number(s) from a single source two or more times, the corresponding note should use the word “Ibid,” the latin word for ibidem, which means “in the same place.” It also states that if one uses the same source but a different page number, the corresponding note should use “Ibid,” followed by a comma and the new page number(s). Another way that Chicago Style is different from MLA is the rule that says one should include a note, endnote or footnote, each time you use a source, whether through a direct quote or through a paraphrase
