Bibliography

In order to further develop within essay writing, we are required to utilise the Harvard system to develop references and utilise them in my essays.

Below are two examples of books that I have read over this course:
Bell, R.C. (1979) Board and Table Games from many civilizations. Revised Edition. New York: Dover.

Braithwaite, B. and Schreiber, I. (2008) Challenges for games designers; non-digital exercises for video game designers. Boston: Course Technology.

Below will be examples of contributions to books that have been made in reading over the past year:
Salen, K. (2002) "Telefragging Monster Movies". In King, L., (ed.), Game On: The History and Culture of Video Games. London: Laurence King. 98-111

Bittanti, M (2003) "The Technoludic Film: Images of Videogames in Movies" In Nakatsu and Hoshino., Entertainment Computing: Technologies and Applications. Springer. 307-312

And finally this will be two examples of Journal entries that I have read over the year:
Keighron, P. (1993) "Video Diaries: What’s Up Doc?" Sight and Sound. October. 24-25.

'Gustafson, J. (1990) 'Design a Character', The Reading Teacher 44 (1) 86-87'.

As it is shown above they all follow a very similar format and each are formatted as follows:

A book is:
Author, Initial (Year of Publication). Title of Book. Place of Publication: Publisher.

A contribution within a book is:

Author Surname, Initial. (Year of publication) “The full title of the article in inverted commas”. In Editor
Surname, Initial., The full title of the work containing the chapter. City of publication: Publisher. Page span of the work cited.

And the reference for a journal entry is:
Author, Initial (Year of Publication). “Full title of the article in inverted commas”.The full title of the journal [volume + part if given and/or] Month, or Season, or volume/part number.

There we have the examples of how a reference would be set up using the Harvard system and a few examples of some interesting readings I have done over the course of the year.
