Chicago Manual of Style now Online

January 2007--The Libraries announce the debut of a campus subscription to the new Chicago Manual of Style Online (CMOS).

Long called the bible of the publishing and research community, the CMOS is now available on your desktop--easy to use, fully searchable, and providing quick answers to style and editing questions.  First published in 1906 and now in its 15th print edition, the digital edition arrived just in time for its centennial!

The online manual offers all the features of the print edition, plus the popular (and entertaining) Chicago Style Q&A, which addresses writers' nuts-and-bolts questions on everything from split infinitives and URLs to Which versus That.

The complete contents of the online CMOS are browsable, indexed, and fully searchable.  Some of the additional features include:

• The Chicago-Style Citation Quick Guide with clear examples of Chicago-style citation, including citing electronic sources;
• tools for manuscript preparation, proofreading, and electronic publication;
• new coverage of journals and electronic publications;
• a comprehensive chapter on American English grammar and usage, new to this edition;
• coverage of copyright and permissions matters; and
• an updated chapter on preparing mathematical copy.

Take a look at the Chicago Manual of Style Online. Members of the Marquette community may freely access electronic resources from off-campus locations.
