If you are using a screen reader to view this page, please be aware that the templates and examples contain important punctuation and formatting, such as commas, full stops, uppercase text and italics, that are a vital part of referencing. You may need to change the punctuation settings and other settings on your screen reader software in order to correctly hear this information. It may work best to turn on an indication for capital letters and to navigate the templates one character at a time to ensure that all punctuation and capital letters are announced correctly. If you have any problems with this, please contact the library.

Reference List (arranged numercially by the citation order in the text)

Notes

Video with named creator

Our example shows a video with an organisation as the creator. If you have a video with a named creator then the same name rules apply as for books. Take a look at the book templates and follow the author rules. The rest of the video template would be exactly the same as shown here.

Bibliography

If you have used an item for information but not directly referred to it in your assignment then it should be included in a separate Bibliography after the Reference List. The format of the Bibliography entry is exactly the same as the Reference List with the omission of the citation number. The Bibliography is arranged alphabetically by author surname.
