Referencing Information with Kortext
Referencing Information with Kortext
While there is a citation tool in Kortext, you will not get all of the necessary referencing information you need from using this tool, nor will it be formatted correctly.
Instead, you should be able to find all of the information you need by looking at the book's cover and edition notice on the first few pages. You can also find information from your Bookshelf by clicking the three dots on the book, then selecting "Book Information".
At Petroc, you must follow Harvard referencing guidelines following those set out in Cite them Right - you can use either their website or the 11th edition of the book (available in the Library).
Cite them Right states with eBooks that if it has the appearance of a published book, with publication details and pagination (i.e. page numbers), you should reference it as a published book.
