The university now subscribes to Cite Them Right, a wesbite which provides clear and concise information on referencing a wide variety of materials. It replaces the previous UHI Harvarrd standard, but also includes details on other styles such as APA and MHRA. Our referencing libguide provides further information, including an introductory video for those who are new to referencing and details of a tutorial that is available to all staff and students.
The university uses the Harvard Cite Them Right 12th edition referencing style. It can be found in the Cite-Them-Right tool, which is a more modern and accessible support site, making it clearer to students how to reference a wide variety of sources in their assignments. There are referencing tutorials and improved integrations with other tools such as Microsoft Word and Refworks.
Further details about the transition are available in our Cite The Right libguide

The library service launched a new Library Search facility during Summer 2022. This video introduces the main features of the new service.
It replaces the old library catalogue (libcat.uhi.ac.uk) and the system known as Multisearch. If you have stored bookmarks or linked to records in either of the old systems, you may need to update links. There is further information in the New Library System guide.
Update - May 2022
Our libraries are largely returned to normal but some services may still vary according to local circumstances and restrictions. Please check the Book borrowing and study space availability guide for the latest information at your academic partner. The guide will also provide you with information regarding Click and Collect and Postal Loans services.
If you would like to arrange a loan from another library, please speak to your local library if you wish to make a request.
The latest details are available in the Book borrowing and study space availability guide. If you wish to return your books by post, please check the guide for details on how to do so.
There is no need to worry about daily overdue charges - these are no longer in place. However, if your book becomes very overdue, your local college library may invoice you for the replacement cost. If you have difficulty returning your books on time, please contact the library to discuss the matter.
Some of our libraries have book return boxes at the entrance to the building, some allow books to be returned to the library itself and some require you to post them back (often with Freepost label). Full details can be found on the Book borrowing and study space availability page.
