Hi Adam,
ReplyDeleteThe bibliography has got most of the right components, but some consistency in presentation would improve the overall appearance.
Sometimes (usually, actually) you'll need to tidy up the citation manually if you get it from the library catalogue or from Summon: here, for example, the title of one book is italicised, a journal title is capitalised and other titles are left undifferentiated. Some authors are identified as firstname lastname, others as initial surname. While it is conventional to cite the place of publication, only one item here includes the place (incidentally, the Castillo & Novak title isn't really an edited collection: a better example would be something like Salen & Zimmerman's Game Design Reader or Finkel's Ancient Board Games in Perspective).
The best method is probably to use a citation manager, such as Zotero, and then select an appropriate style so that bibliographies are styled consistently.
If you should explore Zotero, you'll find several variations on the Harvard style: I have found the Leeds Metropolitan version works well for me, as I prefer their use of brackets and italicisation.
