The Library
To help with understanding referencing styles we have produced six referencing handbooks. PDF versions of these are available from this page.
We are happy for external education institutions to link to our referencing materials. If you do link, please email to request permission so that we know who is using our materials: library@lincoln.ac.uk
Contact your Academic Subject Librarian for help with referencing and for advice on avoiding plagiarism.
