Notes-Bibliography vs. Author-Date

Notes-Bibliography style in Chicago is a style characterized by footnotes at the bottom of each page, and superscript numbers taking the place of in-text citation. The sources are reproduced in a bibliography at the end of the paper. Footnotes are intended to be read while the reader is going through the text, and the bibliography is used as a repository of potentially useful sources.
Author-Date style in Chicago is very similar to APA style. It uses in text citations at the end of sentences in parenthesis, which are intended to refer the reader to the source on the references page.
