Our own in-house expert on Harvard Referencing is the very-approachable Sara Eaglesfield of the Learning Development Unit at Bucks. Part of Sara's job is to help our undergraduates get to grips with the requirements of written work at university level. If you missed any of her classes, you can find her videos, titled "The Harvard Half Hour" online at Vimeo.
Why learn this stuff? It's such a pain, and it has nothing to do with animation! Well, yes, but you came to university to get a degree, not just to learn a bunch of software. Harvard Referencing is the basis of all academic writing, that is to say at university. If you want to pass the academic bits of your degree, you have to master this stuff.
So where can you find the Harvard Half Hour? Follow this link. Or, paste this url into your browser: http://vimeo.com/53066414
But, you say, it's a private video! Where is the password? I'm afraid you'll have to email me (alexander.williams@bucks.ac.uk) for that one - it's only for students at Bucks.
The Power Paragraph and The Structure Constructor are also available via the LDU organization on Blackboard. Select the LDU Team, then Sara Eaglesfield > Whistlestop Workshops > Videos.
The password is the same for all the videos.

Don't forget that the website www.citethemrightonline.com will help you to cite pretty much anything, even YouTube videos.
Also, Microsoft Word will automatically dop your referencing for you. All you need do is go to the References tab at the top menu, select Harvard from the drop-down menu, and start work. Word gets you to fill out various fields with all the information (author, date etc) and then Word does the rest for you.
