Citation Tools & How-To Guides

OWL @ Purdue Guide to Chicago Style
Simple guide to Chicago - recommended. Describes not just citation styles, but also how to format your paper, etc. If you need more detail check out the full Chicago manual in print.

EasyBib
This is one of several free online citation generators that will create citations that you can cut-and-paste into your paper. BE CAREFUL to use the correct tab (Book, Journal, etc.) and proofread the results!

Zotero
Very cool free app that lets you grab citations from anywhere online with one or two clicks, plus has lots of other features, such as formatting entire bibliographies, note-taking tools, online back-up, integration with Word, etc. Very nice but does have a learning curve.
