Referencing is a standard method of acknowledging sources of information and ideas that have been used in assignments in a way that uniquely identifies their source. Direct quotations, facts and figures, as well as ideas and theories, from both published and unpublished works must be referenced.
The referencing guides prepared by the Library are guides only. Individual Schools and Departments may recommend variations on these styles - or referencing styles not listed here. It is very important that students check with lecturers and tutors to make sure they are using the correct style.
The Library provides the following guides:
Chicago Author-Date (pdf)
APA (pdf)
Vancouver (pdf)
Links to other referencing guides are also provided:
