Referencing Resources and Texts in Footnotes and in your Bibliography/Reference List

For each assignment you complete you will have footnotes (Chicago Footnotes) or in text references (APA) in the body of your assignment and then a Bibliography or Reference List at the end. ANY assignment that includes research will mean that you need to reference! Don't forget to include it!

Morling LibGuides

The Morling Library includes a number of LibGuides for Referencing. They outline what you need to include in citations according to the type of text you are quoting, paraphrasing or summarising. You should check the appropriate LibGuide for your referencing style – it will be very helpful!
