'The importance of being digital' was a live question and answer session (broadcast online) about the skills and approaches that can help you use digital and online tools and technologies during your studies, at work or in your personal life.
Find out how to join the 'How to use MyReferences' online training session. This session will show you the basics of storing and retrieving references using the Open University tool, MyReferences. The simple interface is ideal if you are new to referencing and would like to use an automated tool.
The key to referencing is to apply the correct style and to be consistent. Identifying as much information as possible to construct your reference and placing these elements in the right order and relevant format will help others to locate the source you used.
Referencing is an important part of academic work. It gives credit to the sources of information that you have used to write your work, and it provides your reader with enough information to locate the sources you have used.
