CiteThemRight is Cardiff Met's preferred guide to referencing correctly, and is available as a book in the library and as a website accessed via the Databases A-Z. The purpose of CiteThemRight is to explain how to acknowledge any information source that you have referred to in your assignment. This act of acknowledging the work of others is sometimes called citation, citing or referencing; it is a fundamental skill for every student.

Cardiff Met has a main collection (most of what you'll see on the library shelves, or find online) but it also has smaller, specialist collections such as the Welsh Collection, or Clinical Practice Collection.
