This site has a pre-sessional activity I would like you to complete before the Referencing and Ethical Use of Information session. This tutorial will take approximately 25 minutes to complete. It will take you through the reasons why we reference and give you examples of how to reference using the Harvard UON referencing style. The transcripts for the videos are available at the end of the tutorial.
Although Harvard Referencing may have been something you've done before, every institution has its own version of Harvard. So please make sure you're following the formatting for Harvard UON.
To work through the tutorial, use the arrows at the bottom right of the screen to progress through the tutorial.
You can access the full Harvard Referencing guide and additional examples on our library website.
These videos (on the two tabs above) are included to highlight common mistakes we often see with referencing and also a useful explanation of what we mean when we talk about plagiarism:
Transcripts are available as a separate file underneath each video.
