Law referencing drop-in health check with Linda Jones
Are you studying Law? Linda Jones, our Law Librarian, is holding a referencing drop-in session in Seminar Room 2 (near the Support Services Desk in Area 0A) at 12-2 pm next Wednesday, 2 November. Bring your Law assignments and referencing worries to Linda and get a firm grounding in the art of OSCOLA or just drop in for a quick referencing health check.If you cannot make the seminar, you are studying other subjects, or you would like to explore referencing on your own, Referencing@Portsmouth is a great online resource – just tell it what you are referencing and you get examples you can copy, paste and overtype, showing you the precise layout, punctuation and grammar. There are also several library booklets and guides that can help.
Downloadable guides for popular referencing systems
All these are also available in print from Library leaflet stands.

There is also a guide to referencing images for students in the School of Architecture.
