For Ibid., I would do a separate line for each one, even if you do it 4-5 times in a row. Keep in mind that you don't need to footnote each of your sentences. Use your judgment where to place the footnote. If you have a paragraph or two pulling facts or ideas from a single source, footnote at the end of that section. For a quote, I would footnote at the end of the quote or sentence containing the quote.
The style Lil Fu Fu Girl referenced is good too. I believe it is a matter of preference.
For the bibliography, include one full citation for each source.
Ibid should be italicized with a period, I believe, but here is an example (scroll down): Powered by Google Docs |
I know it gets so confusing!
Ok, so I could run them in a row, that's good to know. Great point about the paragraphs, now I just need to write the paper!
I chose Steve Jobs! Seems kind of funny for a history paper, but he was on the list and I find him interesting!
Thank You so much for your help, I really appreciate it!
I didn't even know about this style until this term!
