• Search - use the search box on the homepage, or in the top right corner of the site, to look for the type of source you want to reference. You can then filter the results by referencing style.


• Browse - use the menu navigation to see what's available. Clicking on a category will reveal the types of sources in that category. There may be a subcategory to help you refine what you're looking for.


• The ‘You try’ feature on each source page enables you to easily construct your own reference by replacing the example text with information relevant to your source.
