3. Why Harvard AGPS... What’s the difference? Not much!
There are some differences in punctuation , formatting and order of content .
Referencing styles have traditionally been associated with different university disciplines and faculties . Harvard, for example, has normally been used in the Humanities.
There is no longer one style recommended for a university or even within a faculty or school. Lecturers may specify a style or they may tell students to use whichever style the student prefers.
Know your style, and be consistent!

4. Referencing is...
Providing information about the sources you used in your work.
Part of the research and writing process, not something you put together at the last minute!
Learning to take effective notes is a large part of mastering referencing

5. You reference in order to...
acknowledge information obtained from sources used in assignments as required by copyright laws
support ideas and arguments using expert facts or ideas
enable checking the authority and the accuracy of your information
demonstrate wide reading
avoid plagiarism

7. Specialist words in referencing
Bibliography and reference list (What is the difference?)
Citing
Quoting
Paraphrasing
Summarising
In-text referencing

8. Bibliography vs. Reference List
Did you know?
Bibliographies are different from Reference Lists. They include all references used in the preparation of the assignment whether used in-text or not. A Reference List is a list of only those sources used in the assignment.
Teachers are advised to tell students explicitly if they require a Bibliography or a Reference List.

9. There are two parts to a reference...
The in text reference
The reference list entry

10. 2. The reference list entry
1. The in text reference
Located in the text of your essay where you have quoted, paraphrased or summarised an author
2. The reference list entry
Located at the end of your essay

11. In referencing, you use different pieces of information to describe different sources...
www
Most sources have an author and a year published- this is why they are used as the in-text referencing.

12. 2. The reference list entry
1. The in text reference
Includes some of the details of your source author + year (+ page numbers where you paraphrase or quote)
Klaebe (2006, p.140) refers to...
2. The reference list entry
Includes all the details of the source author + year + title + publisher + place of publication

2 Reference list

14. In-text referencing - Quoting
Short quotations
Add single quotation marks (not double) around the exact words of the author.
Example
Brugman (2002, p. 23) writes ‘citing sources for each idea or item of information you use, whether you quote, paraphrase or summarise or merely refer to it is essential to avoid plagiarism’.
Note: Quotes are not included in the word count

15. Long quotations
When using long quotations, 4 lines or more, you need to separate them from your normal text.
• set out in a block format (i.e. not part of the sentence)
• Indent the block from the left and right margins
• Use single line spacing
• No quotation marks are necessary
• Include in-text referencing details either as a lead in to the block or at the end.
Example
In A guide to referencing and bibliographies, King describes in detail how secondary school students should reference their work. The author states that:
When you write assignments, it is an accepted procedure
to acknowledge the use of all statements, ideas, opinions,
conclusions or data you used which came from other sources
and authors. This means stating which book, non-book,
audio-visual, electronic or graphic material is the source,
whether the work is directly quoted, paraphrased, or
summarised (King 2010, p. 1).

16. Ellipsis
When you want to leave out sections of a longer quote, use three full stops with no spaces (an ellipsis) wherever parts of a sentence are left out.
Example
In A guide to referencing and bibliographies, King (2010, p. 1) states that ‘…it is an accepted procedure to acknowledge the use of all statements, ideas, opinions, conclusions…which came from other sources and authors’.

17. In-text referencing: Paraphrasing
Paraphrasing is writing someone else’s ideas in your own words. • You may use technical words that cannot be substituted. • If you paraphrase another person’s work, you still need to include in-text referencing. Example Direct quotation King (2010, p.1) says that ‘copying other people’s ideas and findings without giving them credit is called plagiarism’. Paraphrase According to King (2010, p.1) plagiarism occurs when writers do not reference ideas they have read in someone else’s work and used in their own.

18. If you use information in your assignment which you have learnt about from a variety of sources and have written ideas in your own words, list the names alphabetically in your in-text referencing using a semicolon (;) to separate the sources.
Example
A student’s ability to organise information from a variety of sources in a clear, concise, logical way is central to their success at school (Charlton, 1999; Dunstan, 2007; Moreton & Hone, 1991).

19. Examples of four (4) methods of quoting
In-text referencing
Examples of four (4) methods of quoting
Direct quote:
Author is incorporated into sentence
Ian Andrews (2001, p. 22) concluded that ‘Researchers need to refine and develop effective search strategies in order to find authoritative information quickly’.
Author is not incorporated into sentence
It is quite clear that ‘researchers need to refine and develop effective search strategies in order to find authoritative information quickly’ (Andrews 2001, p. 22).
Indirect quote:
Andrews (2001, p. 22) claimed that sophisticated searching techniques are important in finding information.
Sophisticated searching techniques are important in finding information (Andrews 2001, p. 22).

20. Graphic in-text referencing
As well as acknowledging in-text an author’s written words, you must also acknowledge any visual or table references e.g. pictures, photos, graphs, maps, tables, etc.
You should label all visual references as Figure using consecutive numbers e.g. Figure 1; Figure 2 etc. and table references as Table using consecutive numbers e.g. Table 1; Table 2

21. Visual references Average incomes for developing regions, 2010
Title of visual reference (make it up if it has no clear title)
Average incomes for developing regions, 2010
Figure 1
The World Bank 2011
Figure + number
Referencing: Author + year

22. Table references
Title of table (make it up if it has no clear title)
2006 Census QuickStats : Kelvin Grove: Person characteristics
Table 1
Australian Bureau of Statistics 2010
Table + number

23. But what if...
Common problems include....

24. Multiple authors? The rule can change depending on the number of authors
University of Queensland Harvard Referencing examples
Single author
Two authors
Three to five authors
Even if the source is NOT a book, the rule for multiple authors stay the same

25. No author? First… look for a corporate author!
In text:
World Wildlife Fund data suggests…. (World Wildlife Fund, 2011).
Reference list: World Wildlife Fund 2011, Climate change harming polar bear cubs, viewed 14 July 2011,

26. Still no author? Rule: use the title in place of the author’s name
University of Queensland Harvard Referencing examples
No author
Even if the source is NOT a book, the rule for no author is the same

27. No year? Rule: use n.d. to show “no date”
Even if the source is NOT a book, the rule for no year is the same
No page numbers? Rule: use a paragraph number or a subheading to help the reader locate the original information
(Website: use par. nos. – still use ‘p’ or ‘pp.’)

28. When in doubt... Just remember to be consistent
Have a good look through Guide to Referencing and bibliographies at Kelvin Grove State College Staff Booklet ... there are lots of examples and advice on where to find further information.
Ask the Library staff
Just remember to be consistent

iPad vs. Everything Else Compared with its iconic ancestors, the iPod and the iPhone, that's a surprisingly tough question to answer. It runs the same operating system as the iPhone- but you can't make phone calls on it. It has been hailed as the gadget that may save the publishing industry- though its e-reader software, which isn't preinstalled, does not display magazines and newspapers. It features a bevy of games - -but it's neither an Xbox 360-killer nor a handheld device like a Nintendo DSi. Most paradoxically of all, the iPad takes on the Windows world of netbooks and even more full-featured PCs, though it doesn't run all Web apps. Or print. Or provide a file system that lets you get to all your documents in any app. Those shortcomings would make the very concept of competing with PCs laughable, if weren't for the way its small size, touch interface, and impressive battery life add up to one of the best devices ever built for consuming content of all kinds, from Web pages to books to feature films. It's both more fundamentally limited than a PC and an exciting sneak peek at where interfaces are likely to go- which is why it makes much more sense as a supplement to the other computers in your life than as a replacement for any of them.
