It is essential that you acknowledge those sources of information by: – Acknowledging the source within the text. – Giving full details of each item in a reference list.

Information Services and Systems Why do I need to do it? To enable your lecturer to follow up the references and find the book or journal article in a library. To enable your lecturer to check the accuracy of the information you’ve given. To demonstrate to your lecturer that you have read widely a range of opinions. To avoid plagiarism (using someone else’s ideas as your own.)

Shows employers you can find relevant information for its needs and apply it appropriately. If you publish a paper in a scholarly journal you will need to use the style recommended by that journal.
