Bibliography
There are many systems used for citing sources and creating bibliographies. The system we use is called the 'Harvard System'.
Here is a link to a Cite this For Me - a bibliography generator. It requires registration to use full function, but it looks worthwhile.
Note: It is essential that you input the correct information into 'Cite this For Me'. If you leave things out, then it will generate the wrong entry. Note that sometimes the site will return entries that other people have accepted, which have not included the correct information.

Avoid
Unless you want to appear stupid, avoid the following things:
- Numbering your bibliography. Alphabetical order makes this redundant.
- Saying 'No Author'. If there was 'No Author' then who wrote it?
- Saying 'No Date'. If there was 'No Date', when was it published? Use instead 'online' or '2012' [where 2012 is the present year].
- Making up your own system. We use the Harvard system, which has clear established conventions of its own.
