AGLC Referencing Guide

This guide provides basic information on footnotes and bibliographies using the AGLC (4th edition).

Using the AGLC

The AGLC Referencing Style Guide has two main features:-

  • In-text reference numbers within the text of your assignment and accompanying footnotes.  The numbers must be consecutive and used to acknowledge each source you use.
  • The Bibliography which appears at the end of your assignment is a complete list of everything you have cited.  Please check with your Tutor or Course Coordinator as Bibliographies are not always required.

Sample Text with AGLC Footnotes

From Peter Handford, 'A New Limitation Act for the 21st Century' (2007) 33(2) University of Western Australia Law Review 387.
