Referencing List and Bibliography
Reference list:

• A reference list is a list of all the information sources

that you have cited in your text.

Bibliography:

• A bibliography is a list of items that you have read,

and has informed your thinking, but not specifically
cited in your assignment.

Both should be in alphabetical order

 Harvard referencing
• When writing assignments you must always
ensure that they reference all research
material
• This avoids plagiarism
• References are placed at the end of the
assignment
• ANY material taken from another source must
be referenced, i.e. scores, quotes, images,
tables, etc.
 Harvard referencing
• Information on how to reference can be found
on the Library website and is also on Minerva.
