While some people may prefer to scan the author-date information while reading the text, others find it distracting. The alternative is to use notes. Turabian calls this the Note/Bibliography (N/B) system. There are two types of notes: the footnote and the endnote. Both are indicated by a superscript numeral in the text. Footnotes appear at the bottom of a page and, in the Turabian style, reproduce all the information needed to find a reference. This is useful when it may be difficult to find a work's reference list, for instance, when reading microfiche or a photocopied excerpt. Unlike footnotes, endnotes are placed at the end of an article, chapter, or paper. Notes may contain bibliographic information or additional content to amplify the main text. Bibliographic footnotes should not be used if a bibliography is also provided. Here is what a Turabian-style N/B article, modified slightly for screen presentation, might look like:
