Referencing made easy!

 
 
Since I started University I have found out how important it is to reference and that it must be done to an appropriate standard.
When we were given our assignment I found it difficult to keep track of all of my references and lost many of the names of the books I had used.
One of our lecturers introduced us to referencing on Word. I had never used it before and so I gave it a shot. It took a little getting used to but as I was going along I could type in all of the details from the book/journal/website that I had used and Word would reference it for me.
After I had completed my assignment I clicked on a certain button and Word automatically arranged my references into a Bibliography and put them in alphabetical order so I did not have to.
There was a small problem with some of the references. As I was using the older version of word some of the references were not showing up in the correct 'Havard Referencing Guide' style and so I had to change a few things.
Overall I think that this will help many students who struggle with referencing and will help them in the future to understand.
