Consult the Online Writing Lab at Purdue's online Chicago Style Manual, for any questions you may have about formatting references and footnotes.
A bibliography is like a works cited page. It alphabetically lists all of the source you cited throughout your paper. A bibliography follows some standard rules:
1) The author's last name appears first (Doe, John) in a bibliography
2) The first line of a bibliographic entry begins at the left margin and all the other lines are indented 5 spaces.
2) If there is no author listed, begin the entry with the title of the source and use that to alphabetize the entry.
Common bibliography examples:
Book:
Boyer, Paul S. Purity in Print: Book Censorship in America from the Gilded Age to the
Computer Age. 2nd ed. Madison: University of Wisconsin Press, 2002.

Notes come at the bottom of each page, separated from the text with a typed line, 1 and 1/2 inches long. To acknowledge a source in your paper, place a superscript number (raised slightly above the line) immediately after the end punctuation of a sentence containing the quotation, paraphrase, or summary--as, for example, at the end of this sentence.1
Do not put any punctuation after the number. In the footnote itself, use the same number, but do not raise or superscript it; put a period and one space after the number. The notes themselves are single-spaced, and the first line of each note is indented five spaces from the left margin. Double-space between notes.

1. Steven Nadler, A Book Forged in Hell: Spinoza’s Scandalous Treatise and the Birth of the Secular Age (Princeton: Princeton University Press, 2011), 8.
