Reference your work properly with help from Disaster Network...

Bournemouth University - Citing References - The Harvard System

Three articles to help guide undergraduates (and reminders for all of us) on how to reference using the Harvard System and academic databases using Athens.

Ever been stuck somewhere with a desperate need to get hold of information and with no idea where to look. Often the hardest place to get the information you need to respond in a disaster or to design high quality programmes is at the 'coal face' where you most need it. Whilst there is an enormous wealth of information on the web, it can often be difficult or time consuming to locate, especially with slow connection. The idea of the Disaster Network Resources page is to give you direct download access to some of the key documents we have come across. Most of these are specifically chosen for their practical application or for clearly addressing a particular issue.

Additional documents can be found through our database of disaster links.
Note on copyright: Disaster Network has made these documents available for download in good faith to make it easier and faster for disaster personnel to access vital information. You you feel we are infringing upon your copyright, please contact us with details of the problem and we will act to remove the offending item from our library.

If you have a document to add to this list, please email it to joseph.barnes@disasternetwork.co.uk so that I can add it to the library.
