The document discusses three types of references - books, book chapters, and journal articles - and how to cite them according to the Harvard referencing system. It explains that each reference should include the author, date of publication, title, and publisher for books, and additional details like volume and issue numbers for journal articles. It provides examples of references for each type and guidance on how to locate the full texts, such as searching for the book or journal title on the library catalogue rather than the specific chapter or article title.
