The Chicago Manual of Style offers two different systems of citing: notes-bibliography and author-date.
Which one should I use? That depends on the discipline for which you are writing. Those whose disciplines fall within the realm of the humanities (i.e. literature, history, or the arts) will typically use what the manual refers to as the notes-bibliography system, which employs the use of footnotes or endnotes that correspond to raised superscript numbers in the text.
Others whose disciplines fall under the sciences and social sciences will typically use the author-date system in which brief in-text citations set off by parentheses correspond to full bibliographic citations arranged alphabetically in the reference list.
Ultimately, the choice is up to the professor or instructor of the course! Please refer to your syllabus or contact your instructors.
