4. Citing more than one text at a time
Often in your own work whether when paraphrasing or following a line
of reasoning you might want to enlist the support of several sources
(authors) who share the same view on that aspect. Citations are listed
in order of the year of publication, earliest to most recent, and then
listed by authors’ surname. Citations of the same year should be
ordered alphabetically by author surname. Separate the citations with
semi colons: 4.1 Group dynamics can help us understand much about
conflict (Barrett 1990; Nimrod 1996; Smart 2001; Crispley 2005). &
4.2 Meetings are often crucibles of conflict (Barrett 1990; Carter &
Smart 1996; Nimrod 1996; Smart 2001; Crispley 2005). See page 24
for reference list entry of a book with two and four authors.

To insert objects into your files is an easy and effective

way of making your work look professional.

Take a piece of text that you are working on. Here is a piece from
Walvin’s Black Ivory
Long before Mansfield became Lord Chief Justice, slave cases had troubled English
courts, but it fell to Mansfield to preside over the most significant and memorable of the
slave cases. In part this was because Granville Sharpe, the pioneering humanitarian,
specifically set out to secure a legal confirmation that slavery could not exists in England.
Sharp became a fixture in Mansfield’s courtrooms, attending various slave cases, ensuring
that they were promoted in the first place, and eagerly pursuing all the related
consequences of the cases through associates and men in high places. The particulars of
the slave cases were often shocking, but only shocking because they had taken place in
England. Incidents of even greater abominations were commonplace, unregarded and
unexceptional on the slave ships and in the slave colonies. Even in so violent and cruel a
world as mid-eighteenth-century London, the detailed sufferings of slaves in England
began to disturb contemporary opinion.

Jonathan Strong was a case in point. Brought by his master from Barbados to
London in 1765, he had been savagely beaten ‘upon his Head with a Pistol till the Barrel
and the Lock were separated from the Stock’. Scarcely able to walk, suffering from a
fever and ‘with so violent a disorder in his Eyes that there appeared to be the utmost
danger of his becoming blind’, Strong, aged seventeen, found his way to Dr William Sharp
in Mincing Lane, London. It was there that the doctor’s brother, Granville, encountered
Strong. Thanks to the two men – and a four-month stay in St Bartholomew’s Hospital –
the young man recovered. Two years later, Strong’s former owner, John Lisle, seized him
again and sold him to a Jamaican planter, James Kerr, who planned to return to the
Caribbean with him. In desperation, Strong contacted Granville Sharpe who secured his
release. There followed a series of legal hearings and discussions about the implications of
the Strong case. What remained unresolved was the simple question could a black be
removed from England back to the slave colony, against his/her wishes? In this case
Strong was freed. But the legal question remained unanswered.

Here are the images that we are going to insert into the text.

Position the cursor (the moving line, arrow or whatever that tells you
where your mouse is on the screen) over the image and right click.

You can tell if you have captured the

image correctly because a box will
appear around the image with a line
connecting it to a green dot. The green
dot allows you to angle and slant
images if you do not want them straight
on.

The pop down menus will look like this

Press copy and it will be saved until you

want to paste it. Although you can
capture many images on the clipboard it is better to do them one at a
time to avoid confusion.

Your image will now be shown on the page.

You can also get images from specialist images sites; a good one is Google
Images

Here is the Google image for Liverpool University. It is good because not
only it is comprehensive it also tells you which images are out of
copyright and can therefore be used.

Once at Google you can download images by right clicking on the mouse.

The following pop down menu will appear.

Click on
