HOW TO WRITE A BIBLIOGRAPHY

A GUIDE TO WRITING A BIBLIOGRAPHY USING THE HARVARD SYSTEM
(updated June 2010)

Introduction:
When writing an assignment you must acknowledge the use of other peoples' work whether it be a book, newspaper article, video, web site, or CD ROM, etc.
This guideline is based on the Harvard System of referencing and includes:

	Intext Referencing
	Bibliography

For any unanswered queries do not hesitate to see the library staff.

What is a Bibliography?
A Bibliography is a list of all material used in the preparation of your assignment. It is usually in alphabetical order of author's surname. If a resource has no author, list it in alphabetical order by the first 3 letters of the title, ignoring the words A, and The at the beginning of a title. Indent the second or third line (if any) by five spaces.
Page numbers:
p. for one page
pp. for multiple pages

HINTS: Remember to write down the bibliographic details of a resource as you use it. Don't wait until the end of the assignment, when you have returned some of the resources, and think 'which book did I use? Where is it?'

You do not have to include these in your bibliography but you must include a reference to your source whilst writing your assignment (intext referencing). Examples: Whilst talking to Mr Shiffer on the 20th August 1997 it became apparent that............. In an interview given (Shiffer, M. 1997, pers. communication, 20th August) it was stated that.............. INTEXT REFERENCING If you use a direct quote or paraphrase (indirect quote) the words of an author you must acknowledge that you are using someone else's ideas. Follow these steps when using a direct quote or paraphrasing: Name the author you are quoting or paraphrasing Date of publication Page number if appropriate DIRECT QUOTES are written exactly as they appear in the work, in inverted commas: "It is well known that schizophrenia is inherited. Children of schizophrenic parents are more likely to develop this psychosis than are children of nonschizophrenic parents." (Yussen, 1988, p. 90) Short quotes (less than 30 words) should be incorporated into your sentence. Long quotes (more than 30 words) should be indented. Indirect Quotes do not require "inverted commas" because you are not quoting directly; you are summarising or paraphrasing the ideas into your own words: Yussen (1988, p. 90) states that children of schizophrenic parents are more likely to inherit schizophrenia than children of nonshizophrenic parents.
