Luton Library - presentation rooms

More presentation rooms just one more would be enough since the library has 6 floors and there are only

two presentation rooms

Luton Library benefits from two presentation rooms and the University community is invited to make use of them. The best way to do this is via our online booking system

Bookaroom.beds.ac.uk

https://lrweb.beds.ac.uk/libraryservices/availableservices/bookings/parksquare

As the building project is complete and the investment in the room specification has been made there are no plans to increase the number of presentation rooms at Luton Library in the near future.

Referencing

I need your help regarding referencing. I’ve already checked all information on this website - https://lrweb.beds.ac.uk/guides/a-guide-to-referencing/ref , however I can not find any information how to reference/insert caption to:

1.       Graph taken from book or website or report

2.       Graph or table, which is based on ( not original one) book, website or report

3.       Logo or picture taken from company website

I would be grateful if you could provide me these information as well as some examples.

	Citation order	Example	Reference list	Example
Graph taken from book or website or report	Author Year Page number (if applicable)	The effects of the compounds (Day and Gastel, 2006, p.95)	Author Year of Publication (in round brackets) Title of books (in italics) Place of publication: Publisher Page number OR figure number of the graph Graph If online then add: Available at:URL (Accessed: date)	Day, R. and Gastel, B. (2006) How to write and publish a scientific paper. Cambridge:Cambridge University Press, p. 95, graph.
Logo or picture taken from company website	Author Year	Controversy surrounded the Olympic logo (London2012, 2010)	Author Year the site was published/last updated (in round brackets) Title of web page (in italics) Medium i.e. logo [in square brackets] Available at: URL (Accessed: date)	London2012 (2010) London2012 [Logo]. Available at: http://london2012.com (Accessed: 23 May 2015)

Where you have stated ‘graph or table, which is based on ( not original one) book, website or report’, I would need to clarify what you mean by this.  If you mean that the graph is in one book but is listed as being taken from another source (graph by X is in a book by Y) then you would need to use Secondary Referencing  (which can be found here: https://lrweb.beds.ac.uk/guides/a-guide-to-referencing/Secondary_ref).

I hope this helps.
