TIPS It is good practice to take the full details of each source information as soon as you have read it, in case it is not available later and your reference is incomplete. If you are new to referencing, look at how published authors, especially in academic textbooks, cite their references. You must be consistent throughout. Use lower case for all title words after the first unless there is a proper name - names of a particular person, place, thing, or idea and always begins with a capital letter. Fiona Maistry 20129
