CUL Style Guide

Is it The Burke Library, or simply Burke Library? How many "Rs" are in Starr? Web site or website? You'll find helpful information about how to refer to our buildings, divisions and the usage of common words in the CUL Style Guide. Created in 2006, the style guide is adapted from UDAR and the Office of University Publications at Columbia. In most cases it follows the Chicago Manual of Style (15th ed.) and the spellings of Webster’s Collegiate Dictionary (10th ed.).

The CUL Style Guide is always growing. Send comments and suggestions to Laura Kenna.
