This shows , you have to add a reference of where you found the information along with who wrote it with the date. Sources that you have used along with your assignment  have to be shown at the end of your work to show where you found your research.

2.  Quotations and information taken from books, website and films - are referenced with the Harvard referencing system. When quoting from a book you should make sure you add the page number, Date and Author of the book. Websites have to be referenced like books too, along with the Date, Writer and article. Films are referenced with the method of embedding, for example say the writer of the film and then embed the quote, then add the films name along with the date in brackets.
