Making referencing real Do you know how to reference the resources you use in a research project? When you do any kind of research you will be getting information from a lot of different places. As well as Internet sites you may use, books, magazines, videos, interviews, newspapers etc. The task you are given and the kind of information you require will determine which resources you use. It is very important to record the places that you got your information from in a bibliography or reference list. In fact you should start making your reference list right at the start of your project and record every source of information you use. Even if you only get a couple of ideas and don't quote anything you still need to acknowledge the source of information.
