Guide to referencing

I've just written this up for the blog for the Polhill cohort, and thought it might be of more general interest. It's all been posted before, but I imagine most of you have better things to do than trawl through the blog archives.

Here is the presentation I used yesterday evening, with accompanying podcast: Basic Author Date (Harvard) Referencing

As well as the guidance from the university library incorporated in the Handbook, you might also find the following links useful:

• http://www.easybib.com/ and
• http://learnhigher.ac.uk/Staff/ Referencing.html

Here are the pages on problems from the American Psychological Association style website:

• http://blog.apastyle.org/apastyle/2011/06/how-do-you-cite-an-e-book.html

However, I also noted that I do have some reservations about the obsession with referencing (not to the extent, however, of letting you get away with it!) I've written about it here, here, here, and here.
