CDU Library develops the CDU Harvard Referencing Style Guide and provides guidance on its use.
The Harvard Style is an author-date style. There is no definitive guide or standard to Harvard referencing and you may come across many different styles or ways of using the Harvard or author-date system.
We update the guide every year so check the date to make sure you have the latest edition. If you believe you have found an error or wish to clarify how to reference an item contact us via askthelibrary@cdu.edu.au
