Update to OU Harvard referencing guide

The OU Harvard Guide to citing references provides guidance and examples that will help you create your own references for assignments.
 
The guide has just been updated to include new examples and is now also available online (login required) as well as being available to download as a Word or PDF document. The online version of the guide makes it easier for you to find the information you need by following links or using the search feature.
 
Many OU modules use the OU Harvard style for referencing, but some modules may use other referencing styles. You should check the details for your module before using this guide.
