I know n.b., but we didn't really use it. I had to deal with ibid, op cit and loc cit throughout college because asian studies requires tons of research. We practically had to submit a 10 page paper weekly. The library was my best friend, and to this day I'm still a big fan of Turabian, even if the citations drove me crazy.
