Turabian 9 Author-Date Style

In section 19.7.1, Turabian indicates theses, dissertations, and doctoral projects are treated similarly to books with several exceptions. Exceptions include the following:

• Titles must be enclosed in quotation marks and in regular type rather than italics.
• List the thesis type, degree-granting institution, and date.  Dissertation should be abbreviated as diss., but thesis is not abbreviated.

When citing a thesis or doctoral project found in an online database, including TREN documents found in the Jessie C. Eury Library catalog, include the commercial database at the end of the citation in the same way you would cite an e-book as described in section 19.1.10.
