I've been looking for a suitable referencing book for genealogists for a little while and came across this one. It has great reviews, and having just completed my BSc in Information and Library Studies wanted to continue referencing using the same style as I used in my studies. The referencing book I used for my studies only covered the basics of genealogical sources. This book covers primary and secondary sources using the Harvard style of referencing and ensures accurate information is provided. For those of you who are interested and like to write reports regarding your research, I can recommend using EndNote for inserting the in-text citations and references
