Notes-Bibliography typically uses footnotes. A footnote for a book looks like this:
1. Malcolm Gladwell, The Tipping Point: How Little Things Can Make a Big Difference (Boston: Little, Brown, 2000), 64–65.
Or, shortened form:
2. Gladwell, Tipping Point, 71.
Author-Date cites within the text, not in a footnote, and it looks like this:
(Gladwell 2000, 64–65)
What if all you see is the bibiliography or reference list entry? Look for where the date (e.g. 2013) is placed.
Notes-Bibliography puts the year at the end of the publication information, like this:
Gladwell, Malcolm. The Tipping Point: How Little Things Can Make a Big Difference. Boston: Little, Brown, 2000.
Author-Date puts the year right before the title, like this:
Gladwell, Malcolm. 2000. The Tipping Point: How Little Things Can Make a Big Difference. Boston: Little, Brown.
