Build a reference





Carlisle College has produced one of a number of sites available on the net that allows users to build a reference.

Users type in: Author First Name: Author Surame: Title: Year published: Edition (if any): Place of publication: Publishing company:Once all the date has been entered into the boxes the user clicks the submit box and the site will generate the reference in the correct Harvard format. The user can then copy and paste the reference into their work.

Good
A foolproof way of making a mistake free reference / citation

Not so good
Users have to type in all the fields for it to work. Worldcat is much quicker
