Harvard Reference Style

An introduction to the Harvard referencing system with reference formats & examples. This variation of Harvard Reference Style is compiled by Nelson Mandela University Library and Information Services.

Webinars: Reference format

A basic reference list entry for a webinar:

  • Author/Presenter
  • Year
  • Title [medium]
  • Publisher/Sponsor
  • Available: URL [Date of access]

 

More details on finding author, date, title, and access information for webinars:

Author.  When citing a webinar, the author would be the individual or individuals delivering the webinar.  Most webinars include a slide with the presenters' names.

Date. The date segment would be the date that the webinar was initially presented and not the date that an archive was viewed.  Again, the opening slide for the presentation will likely indicate the date of the presentation or the academic quarter when the presentation occurred.

Title.  The title of the webinar should be prominently listed on the first slide of the presentation. The title would be followed with a description of the resource type in brackets, ie. [webinar].  

Publisher or sponsor.  Add the name of the institution, organization, corporation, or other entity that published or sponsored the webinar, followed by a period. 

URL.  This segment of the citation provides information that a reader would need to retrieve the resource, in this case, the web link needed to access the webinar recording.
