This guide provides examples of referencing a variety of common information sources, as well as quizzes to test your understanding. Consult the full Australian Guide to Legal Citation 4th edition if you cannot find an example for the source type you need in this guide.
Do not rely on the accuracy of 'suggested' AGLC citations provided by Library Search, law databases and other law resources; always check these against the AGLC rules for errors.
