Here is an excellent guide, with an American orientation. This site is particularly good on the various kinds of literature that may be accessed. These authors use an Author-Date referencing system.
http://www.wisc.edu/writing/Handbook/QuotingSources.html
This site (and the one previous) is among the most popular links used by other academic institutions around the world. This section is chosen for its valuable advice on paraphrasing our readings, but you will find lots of other useful pointers elsewhere in the site’s other pages.

We make a quick visit to Australia for a super, short but comprehensive, guide, including very practical pointers about the actual amounts of books and articles which need to be read for various kinds of dissertations. Navigating to “Acknowledging Sources” will bring up a detailed examination of referencing systems. Remember, your own institution’s requirements come first!

Back to North America for another short guide, written by Dena Taylor and Margaret Procter. Much as we would like to give credit to website contributors, we cannot always do so, since many websites are written in a corporate style, leaving the specific authors anonymous. This time, we can give the credit for a quite ingenious checklist.

The Asian Institute of Technology, in Thailand, has a generous disposition with its materials and resources, making very large quantities of them available online. This particular document was selected for its overall style and clarity. Like the OUP site you are currently visiting, the AIT site is an online resource prepared specifically for interactive use. It contains a large number of dynamic links and seems to be well maintained.
