Suppose you’re reading a book and you glance at the footnote and for example you see (Ibid, p. 83).  What the heck does Ibid mean?  I have always wondered what this apparent mystery is.  Is it a secret document that only scholars know about?  Well I Google(d) it and here is what I found:

 Ibid – (is Latin short for “ibidem“, “in the same place”) is the term used to provide an endnote or footnote citation or reference for a source that was cited in the last endnote or footnote.  To find the Ibid source, one has to look at the reference right before it, and so ‘Ibid’ serves a similar purpose to ‘ditto marks’ ( ” ).

 

-Example on how to use the Ibid in your footnote:

 

1. T. Eliot, “Astrophysics,” (Springer, Berlin, 1989), p. 141.

2. Ibid, p. 172.

*Ibid means that you are citing T. Eliot’s book in footnote # 2… *note that the page numbers can be different.  

               Maybe I was the only person who thought that the Ibid was a mysterious document.  

But probably not so you can thank me later.  Looking back on it…I speculate that I was 15 minutes 

late the morning we went over the (mysterious) Ibid in high school.
