e-Books must be referenced too!
If you use an e-book for your research, you must reference it using the correct format. Use the Referencing Style specified for your course.
Some e-book collections, including ProQuest and Ebook Central provide a "Cite this book" feature or allow you to export the citation details to your EndNote library.
This section provides examples of referencing electronic books according to the Harvard style of referencing, copied from the Referencing Styles section of the LibGuide, How do I find, access and use information effectively: a step-by-step guide
