When using the AGLC3 referencing style, books and journal articles are listed in full in the footnotes, the first time only. For subsequent references, use ibid and above n.
Ibid, which should be used to refer to the immediately preceding footnote, is explained on page 7 of the AGLC3.
Above n should be used if the source has been cited in a previous footnote (except for the immediately preceding footnote) or multiple sources are cited in the previous footnote. This is explained on page 8 of the AGLC3.

Some footnotes have been listed below to demonstrate the use of ibid and above n.

The following details should be provided for books in a bibliography:

  • First author, surname followed by first name. Subsequent author's names should be listed as they appear on the source: given name, initial or middle name, surname
  • The book title in italics
  • The Publisher, edition and year in round brackets
  • The Pinpoint (if applicable)
