Tuesday 11th September 2012: Harvard Referencing

Learn about how to reference correctly. I now know that if i use some information from a certain source I need to make a note of where I got the information from. Also learnt what Harvard referencing was:
 
The Harvard style of referencing is sometimes referred to as the author-date style.It requires the acknowledgement of source(s) of information or ideas using in-text citation and a reference list. The Harvard system of in-text citation requires three pieces of information about a source within the text of a piece of work:
  • The name of the author or authors
  • The year of publication
  • The page number (where appropriate)
In the Harvard system, the reference list requires full details of the sources referred to or cited.
