Chicago Style Guide, for 17th Edition

Introduction

The structure of Bibliographic entries for audiovisual materials typically contains the same types of information but vary by medium. Materials which were found online should include URL and citations for physical materials should include supplementary information as necessary (i.e. number of discs in an album). Remember that each element is separated by a period (unless shown otherwise below):

 Audiovisual materials cited in your bibliography will contain some or all of the following elements:
 

1. Name of the performer, composer, or conductor (lastname, firstname middle).
2. Recording Title in italicized characters (if part of a larger work).
3. Title of Work (in quotation marks).
4. 'by’, if necessary (e.g. composed by, directed by)
5. Name of the composer, writer, and other content creators, when necessary.
6. Publisher Name of the publishing/recording company.
7. Identification Number (for some recordings).
8. Copyright date or date of production.
9. Medium of the audiovisual material being used (e.g. CD, DVD, radio broadcast, etc).
10. Timestamp (if source happens at a specific point in the recording)
11. URL/DOI (for online materials).

 As with all other citations, the publication date of the reference will be placed directly after the title when using Author-Date style.
