how do i correctly reference using the harvord system?

IN TEXT REFERENCING – Using the Harvard system:

To cite a direct quotation, write the text word for word and place quotation marks at the beginning and end of the quotation. Before the closing period place, in parentheses, place the author’s last name, the date and page number (do not include a comma between the name and the date).
For example:
“Australia is a settler society” (Hudson 1997, p. 9).

To cite a paraphrase or a short summary of an author’s words or ideas, restate the original words / idea in your own words followed by a parenthetical citation. The citation appears before the closing period and includes, in parentheses, the author’s last name, the date and page number(s). Do not place a comma between the author’s name and the date.
For example:
Wartime textile rationing was imposed through a coupon system, which meant garments now had two costs: their value in monetary units and in coupons (McKernan 1995, p. 152).

To reference the overall content of a work, you do not need to include page numbers because it is the entire work you are citing.
For example:
Larsen and Greene (1989) studied the effects of pollution in three major cities.

CITATIONS FOR YOUR REFERENCE LIST – Using the Harvard system:

The List of References in the Harvard system is a single list of all the books, journal articles and other sources you have referred to throughout your paper. Each reference list item requires certain bibliographic details. A list of references should be laid out alphabetically by author surname. If bibliographic information exceeds one line of text, then the following lines should have a hanging indent. The title of a book should be in italics.

You use the title page not the book cover for the reference details. The required elements for a book reference are:

Author, Initial(s)/first name, Year. Title of book (in italics). Edition. (only include this if not the first edition) Place: Publisher.

**Yahoo! Answers does not permit me to show the formatting. Additionally, there are many different sources not each of which requires the same bibliographic information. Thus, for FORMAT and ADDITIONAL EXAMPLES of a variety of sources, please see:
