From 1 September 2016 APA 6th ed will be the main referencing style used at SHU – replacing Harvard-SHU.
With APA you can quickly and easily generate correctly formatted references in APA style from Library Search and Google Scholar and you can choose from a wide range of free apps and online tools such as RefME so you can quickly generate accurate APA style references (eg scan a book barcode to automatically generate the correct reference).
If you are used to Harvard-SHU you can continue using it during 16/17 and if your department uses a different style such as OSCOLA, MLA, etc. then there’s no need for you to change.
