To ask for help with Harvard Referencing! Please!

[MrsTawdry]

I write copy for a variety of clients. Usually it's pretty light, fluffy stuff but this week I'm working on the introduction to a medical handbook.

I have to use Harvard Referencing...can you tell me...if I am going to use a quote from one author which I found in a book by another author...do I have to say so in the referencing? "Cited" or somesuch?

Also...client says "Harvard referencing on the bottom of the page"

Does that mean I can't put any ref in the body of the text?

Like this "Blah de blah blah in 1965 in her manual of eye diseases Jane Watkins defined the condition as blah de blah"

Or should I just quote "Jane Watkins" with some kind of * and then mention the manual she wrote at the bottom!?

As you can tell I am not a trained copywriter. I do well though...so please don't judge me!

Eg I've quoted one author twice on one page....but they are in different paragraphs....do I need to ref this in the list twice?

Question: What are ibid. and op.cit.?

These are ways of handling references to the same source. (ibid. p.49) as a citation in the text or a footnote means that this reference is to the same source as the one immediately before it. (Smith op.cit. p. 49) means that you've referred to the Smith book before, but there are references to other things between the first reference to Smith and this one.

Is it to do with this?
