Another key work on referencing, which I don't think has been mentioned yet, is: Neville, C. (2008). Complete guide to referencing and avoiding plagiarism. Milton Keynes: Open UP. (the style of this reference is APA 5th which is a major one from the several hundred given in EndNote) Colin gives a very useful overview of referencing practice nationally. All of this about 'how to reference' misses the key issues in the current debate on the subject. This has been prompted by Alex Gill's recent piece in the Times Higher about the need for authoritative standardisation, locally and nationally to get us out of the 'jungle of styles'. If list members are interested, there has been quite a debate on the LDHEN mailgroup. Regards, Max PS At the risk of starting another debate, this is an information literacy mailgroup and it is quite disappointing to see posts without a decent email signature indicating institution and contact points etc. You might know who you are but I don't necessarily ! This is just a general point, not pointed at anyone in particular.

However, I feel the source I am referring to may be a little out of date and would be grateful for your feedback on the sources you use when teaching sessions with your students. Many thanks.
