A GUIDE TO REFERENCING with examples in the Harvard style

ONLINE SOURCES
Note: Always choose page image format (pdf) files when this format is available. Using a pdf version allows you to cite and reference the source as if it were a hardcopy.
Also, page numbers are usually available in pdf files for including in in-text citations for direct quotations.
Some documents on websites do not have page numbers and you will then not be able to include the page numbers in the in-text citation for those particular direct quotations.
