Adding Date Accessed to your bibliography

When referencing sources on the Internet, some referencing styles specify that you must include the date you accessed the resource. Some don't, which is why it isn't a default on the Harvard UoB output style we suggest you use. But if you do want to add Date Accessed, there is a way to do it.


  • First go to the Bibliography menu and select Output Style Editor.
  • Select Harvard UoB and press Save As (choose a file name eg Claire's Harvard UoB)
  • From the Style drop down list select your 'new' output style and press Edit.
  • Select the Retrieved date field from the left hand list and the links field and move them across using the green arrows.
  • You can then annotate your references in RefWorks to include  "Accessed:  " before the date, or you can do this in the Word document after you have generated your bibliography
