Some general rules for formatting footnotes:
The first time you cite a source, you will need to include the full citation information. Each subsequent time you cite it in the same paper, however, you will use a short form citation.
Author Only
If you are citing only one work by a particular author, use only their name and the page number.
4. Michael Davis, Street Gang: The Complete History of Sesame Street (New York: Viking, 2008), 43.
5. Davis, 102.
Author-Title
If you are citing multiple works by the same author, use the author's name, a shortened (but clear!) version of the title, and the page number.
12. Davis, Street Gang, 197.
Title Only
If you are citing a work which does not have an author or editor, use a shortened (but clear!) version of the title and the page number.
18. Driving Home, 280.
Ibid
Ibid, which comes from the Latin ibidem or "in the same place", is used to cite a work whose bibliographic data appears in the note directly preceding it. If the citation information is exactly the same, including the page number, simply use 'Ibid.'. If the citation is the same save for the page number, use 'Ibid., #'.
Note that because Ibid. is an abbreviation, it should be followed by a period.
23. Davis, Street Gang, 197.
24. Ibid., 213
25. Ibid.
