What is a reference/citation?
A reference or citation refers to a source of information.
A citation from a reference list (or bibliography)
contains enough information for the reader to locate the original
document.

Your Reading List
The reading list for your course contains citations
to published materials. In order to find your reading list items,
you will need to understand how to interpret the information,
search for it in the Library Resources Database (LRD) and then
find it on the library shelves or retrieve it electronically. |

Examples of references
Most of the citations that you encounter will be for books,
book chapters, and journal articles. Understanding the elements
of a citation will enable you to use the appropriate search
terms in the Library Resources Database - LRD (catalogue).
This is VERY IMPORTANT - for example, you cannot
search by Article Title in the Library Resources Database.
