|
Several of you have asked for information about style manuals and writing guides. Here 'tis:
Turabian, Kate L. A Manual for Writers of Term Papers, Theses, and Dissertations, Chicago, University of Chicago Press [use the latest edition available; a good systhesis for both footnote and parenthetical reference and bibliographic style]
A Manual of Style, Chicago, University of Chicago Press [use the latest edition available; considerably more detailed than the above]
Ethnomusicology [No formal style guide, but note the use of parenthetical citations, content footnotes, examples and charts within the text, and bibliography; the standard for the field in the United States.]
Wingell, Richard J. Writing about Music, Englewood Cliffs, NJ: Prentice Hall, 1990.
