Referencing Support
Librarians can assist you to follow recommended styles where guides and advice are available. If
following School guidelines, you may need to approach your School for advice. In all cases, it is
individual tutors who confirm which referencing style they require you to use, and you may
sometimes encounter exceptions to styles recommended on this list, so always check.
