In the OSCOLA Style

Remember:

In the same way you reference books and journal articles, you need to reference anything you find online. 

You might not be able to find all of the information (e.g. some webpages have no individual author), but take note of the information that's available and put it into your referencing style.

For more information on how to reference online resources see our referencing guide.

While it is required to use academic sources provided by the Library such as Books and Journals & Databases for your assignments and research, good quality online resources can make an important difference to your work.

In this Online Resources section of our Law guide, we’ve collected together information on

1. The best online resources for Law that will help you do well in your studies and
2. Some advice on how to get the most out of these resources.

Be careful!: Unlike academic resources, general online resources often don’t go through a process to check they are of high quality. So you will need to assess them yourself by following the advice below and reading our Evaluating Information Guide.

When you encounter online information you should ask yourself five Questions:  

1. How recently was the information published / updated? 
2. Is it relevant to your work?
3. Do you trust the author?
4. Is it supported by evidence?
5. For what reason was the information published?

Find out more about Evaluating Information in our Successful Searching Guide.

The Department of Law’s website provides up to date information and news for that department.

For students and staff of the department, it also provides access to key information such as

1. The Departmental Handbook
2. Essay Cover Sheets for assignments.
3. Details of Departmental staff and their areas of interest.
