Geetings!
Oh, dear, I was afraid someone would ask me that! ;=)) My research tells me that there are many different types of Harvard citation, all similar, but with small variations. Of course, the basic part is the in-text parenthetical citations which use (Author year) style. For example, (Smith 2006). For two authors, use an ampersand: (Smith & White 2005). For more than two, use et al.:
(Smith et al. 2007). If you quote directly, you must also include the page number from which you took the quotation. There is some variance on how to express this, but one popular way is: (Smith 2006:98). You will then put the full citation in your References list at the end of the paper (starting on a new page): Smith, I. (2006) Harvard Referencing, New York: Random House.
I'm no expert on Harvard, which isn't used as much here in the States as it is in the UK. My advice would be to explore some websites that have information on the topic by using "Harvard citation" as your internet search term.
Best of luck in your studies!
