Answer 2

The Harvard reference system (or author-date system) is the means by which you identify books and other sources which you have used in your writing. It is the system you are recommended to use unless your tutor directs you to use another. It is very important to be consistent and accurate when citing references. Citations in the body of your writing should give the author’s surname with the year of publication. The full details of all these references should be listed alphabetically by author name as a reference list at the end of your writing. If you wish to acknowledge other sources that have been used in your learning these should be given in a separate bibliography. If you are writing an academic essay you need to use citations to acknowledge your sources in the following circumstances: If writing a dissertation or a practice based project there is an expectation of wider reading to inform your work, it is appropriate that both a reference list and a bibliography should be submitted.

if you are using an actual quotation from another source;
if you are paraphrasing another source;
if you are referring directly to another source;
if your own writing is closely based on, or is drawn heavily from, the work of another writer;
if you wish, for some other reason, to draw attention to a source.

Answer 3

Its a system, that allows you to condense your references and bibliograph to single lines, thus removing the majority of the footnotes. most lecturers like to mark such academicly ref work as they can print the bibliography, and use it whilst they read the text, without jumping back and forth through the text. but it is a pain to learn.

if in doubt, keep your work consistant, but i prefere the APA Harvard system.The Uni of Portsmouth has some good online sites, but thier server was down when I typed this. but it is at port.ac.uk
