You are greeted inside by parallel rows of massive columns that recall the façade of an Egyptian temple, vividly banded in red and blue. Above, projecting walkways and "seminar balconies" zig-zagging around the walls add to the theatrical feel, as do the lattice-sided stairs that criss-cross the interior space like something imagined by Escher or perhaps Piranesi. It's an eclectic and exuberant mix of colours, styles and materials: colourful, a touch vulgar even, but undeniably exciting.“
Once inside the building you face rows of massive Egyptianate columns, banded in blue and red. Above you are walkways and balconies which feel theatrical, while the criss-cross lattice-sided stairs are like something Escher might have imagined. All in all, it is an interesting and exuberant mix of styles and colours. Some might think it is a bit vulgar but you can’t deny that it is exciting.

Harvard Referencing Style
Has anyone used it before?

Harvard Style Referencing
Harvard Style is the preferred referencing style at CJBS but you can use other styles provided you are consistent.
Harvard Style is essentially:In text: Author, Year, (and sometimes) Page NumberAt end: Full reference in bibliography
There are no footnotes with Harvard Style.
Harvard Style Referencing
Worked example:
Direct quote in your text (or ‘in-text citation’):‘If you find what you do each day seems to have no link to any higher purpose, you probably want to rethink what you're doing.’ (Heifetz, 2009, p.57)
Reference in bibliography:Heifetz, R. et al. (2009) The practice of adaptive leadership: tools and tactics for changing your organization and the world. Boston, MA: Harvard Business School Publishing.
Harvard Style Referencing
Paraphrase in your text:Heifetz et al, seemed to think that adaptive leadership actions have to include a behavioural component and that adaptive solutions are difficult because it involves changing your worldview (Heifetz, 2009).
N.B. Paraphrase someone’s ideas and words by all means BUT unless you add a reference its plagiarism
Harvard Style Referencing
4 Common Referencing Problems
1. Trying to locate a reference you didn’t note down/cannot decipher
2. Failing to include all the references in your text in your bibliography
3. Formatting each and every reference so that it’s in the right style
4. Organising your references alphabetically
Surely there has to be a better way?
