Booth Library has a new subscription to the online Chicago Manual of Style.

The complete contents of the 17th edition (2017) are browsable and searchable, as is material from the previous edition.

Consult the Quick Guide for sample citations using the Notes and Bibliography or Author-Date styles, browse common questions and answers, and check out the CMoS video tutorials.
