Dear All,
My colleague Michelle Schneider and I are interested to hear of any examples of Higher Education institutions adopting a University-wide referencing system for their undergraduates and taught postgraduates.
At the University of Leeds, at least eight different referencing styles are used by different schools across the institution, with many more variants of these styles adopted by individual tutors. There is currently no central responsibility for providing consistent guidance and support for referencing; the level of supporting information provided to students and staff by individual departments varies considerably.
We are considering recommending that Leeds adopts a University-wide referencing system. We'd be grateful to receive any examples of institutions where a similar approach has been adopted, plus any information on the benefits and pitfalls that have subsequently been experienced.
If you're able to help, please email Michelle and myself directly: [log in to unmask] and [log in to unmask]
Many thanks,
Dan
