Referencing - the Harvard system ..

While writing bibliographies for reports, dissertations etc, I found this link to be very useful for students in preparing a decent bibliography, citations etc.. This Harvard referencing style is used in different countries and reputed journals across the world. It was the same referencing I used at IIT Bombay for my thesis work.. The list is alphabetically sorted on the second name of the first author, name of publication etc.. ( eg. sorted on names C, J, T, U in the example )

sample syntax : first author surname, surname, second author full name, title of reference (journal article name, text book name ..), details of reference (journal name, publishers name, edition number, year of publishing ....
