Harvard Referencing help

[almoststew1990]

I've got a couple of odd things to reference using the Harvard system but I'm not sure how you would do it:

I visited a museum and saw an interactive display and the voice over told me the thing I'd like to say in my essay

I visited Pompeii in and the tour guide told me the thing I'd like to say in my essay (also got a photo of it if it helps).

Any ideas from proper students out there?

Have you tried here?

You ought to find the original source from where the tour guides got their info from in printed form.

 

[Tacitus]

Don't use what the tour guide/museum said. Find a written, academic source for the same thing.

What's the point you're trying to make?

Tacitus will help, I was alive when Vesuvius erupted in 79!

As above best to find the original source.

Following website will do all the formatting for you:

i would try and find a proper source - quoting a tour guide is like quoting some bloke down the pub.

 

[deusexlumina]

indeed, don't quote "private conversation"...

i have quoted 'private correspondence' before but only with dr's/professors of institutions who are experts in their field. its rare though.

If you need help with referencing pm me your steam and I will add you and help. It's simple harvard ref.

Not that it answers your question, but Word will also do the formatting for citing for you and does Harvard referencing etc.

The author or place you found it, the date or ND, Interactive Display, 'the area or subject', Where you got the data from (or Available at: ), Accessed on this day.

That is how I'd do it?

Was doing Harvard Referencing for online stuff today.

I hate harvard style, IEEE style is much better.

 

[5960xNvidiaGamer]

Harvard style is what's required though, that's all I can use when doing my work too.

Did you see the Pompeii Penis?

Theres a good harvard reference plugin for word.
