Anyone with children?

[sophie_1003]

Who buys the following magazines-
CBeebies
Toy Story
Favourites
I need the reference details e.g. author, publisher, location of publisher; not even sure if all this info is even in children's magazines, but any help would be much appreciated!

We don't buy those magazines but this is who publishes them (according to Google).

http://www.swpp.co.uk/publications/5343.htm - for Cbeebies
EgMont for Toy Story
Redan ltd for Favourites

He that helps

There's no specific author, as each magazine will combine contributions from several people. (There's probably no real point in mentioning the editor's name either).

CBeebies Weekly:
Steph Cooper (Editor), BBC Worldwide, London

Toy Story:
Egmont UK, London

Fun to Learn Favourites:
Redan, Shrewsbury

Lovely thank you! It's for a dissertation so any reference information is good!

[sophie_1003]

Actually Chris, while you are here (and because you seem to know everything!) If I'm referencing pictures I know I need to put the author; if these were pictures of book covers would the author be the author/illustrator of the book? Also, would the year be the publication date of the book? It's Harvard referencing by the way!

I would think that Googling would give you this info, sophie!

[sophie_1003]

I had managed to find some of it but the guide to referencing only states the format i.e. Author Title/description of image (Year) etc and I don't know if, when it is a picture of a book cover; it means all the things I've asked or something different entirely! I would email by uni tutor but she doesn't reply to emails and to be honest, she's pretty useless and probably wouldn't know anyway!

For the relevant details of any book, Sophie, click 'Search the Integrated Catalogue' on the British Library website. By law, a copy of every book published in the UK has to be deposited with the British Library. The details in the BL catalogue mirror those required by the Harvard referencing system:
http://catalogue.bl.u...le_name=login-bl-list

If your reference is specifically to a picture (rather than to written content) then, unless you're sure of the name of the illustrator, all you can do is to put something like:
Cover illustration (anon), The Answerbank for Beginners, Crystal Guides, London, 2011

If you know the name of the illustrator, something like this should do:
M. Mouse (illus.), The Answerbank for Beginners, Crystal Guides, London, 2011

As long as you keep as close as is practically possible to the Harvard referencing system (and your sources are clear), no assessor is going to penalise you for any minor discrepancies in your methodology. (I can guarantee that the guy who assessed my degree thesis never bothered checking one of my key sources. There was only one copy of the book in the UK, hundreds of miles from Sheffield university, and it was written in 18th century German - which I'd had to translate myself!)

Thanks Chris, you're a saviour! Had completely forgotten about referencing images up until now and now have some which I just found through Google (not book covers) which I'm having to try and remember what I searched to get them, major headache!

Chris, are you a McWhirter?
