Harvard Referencing with Mike Webb (Part One)

[houxy]

"It gives you a little bit of information in the text itself as you [are] reading along... but all the other details put at the end in a list of references so they don't intrude upon the page; they don't intrude upon the reading." Uhhh, but parenthetical references intrude upon the reading more, not less. That is not an actual reason to use the Harvard system of referencing. The *real* reason the *British* use the so-called "Harvard" system is because it is easier for the writer, not the reader!
