Referencing

Do you know how to reference the resources you use in a research project?
When you do any kind of research you will be getting information from a lot of different places. As well as Internet sites you may use, books, magazines, videos, interviews, newspapers etc. It is very important to record the places that you get your information in a bibliography or reference list. In fact you should start making your reference list at the 
start of your project and record every source of information you use.

Even if you only get a  couple of ideas and don’t quote anything you still need to acknowledge the source of information.
There are a number of different styles of referencing. Most schools have a particular one that they use as their standard. Do you know the one that is used at your school?  (If you don't, try and find out from your teacher or the teacher librarian in your library).
Try some of these reference guides and generators and pick the one that matches your school standard.
