Can someone point me to some good instructions and resources on how to setup Harvard referencing style with bibtex in a LaTeX document? The final formatting of the bibliography should look as in this page: http://libweb.anglia.ac.uk/referencing/harvard.htm

I'm not totally new to LaTeX itself, but didn't use BibTex a lot, other than the default, predefined setup.

The Harvard style covers a wide range of choices of exactly how to do things. Using the natbib package has already been mentioned, while you could also consider biblatex.

\usepackage[sorting=nyt,style=apa]{biblatex} will give you more or less Harvard citations through \textcite If you're super lazy (like me) add \let\cite\textcite to your preamble to use \cite instead of \textcite – Seamus Oct 3 '10 at 20:17
+1 for biblatex – Will Robertson Oct 4 '10 at 1:35

The package you want is here: CTAN/harvard

Instructions for installing packages are here: CTAN, packages, and online help

It depends on your tex distribution. If you are using MiKTex, or another distribution with a package manager you just need to call the bib style as per usual and the package manager will handle installation.

It's generally better to use natbib instead of harvard. – Lev Bishop Oct 3 '10 at 15:39

And better to use biblatex than natbib? :) (Okay, it can depend.) – Will Robertson Oct 4 '10 at 1:35

You can have your cake and eat it too: \usepackage{har2nat} - harvard.sty macros on top of natbib. – Charles Stewart May 6 '11 at 13:26

An option as been mentioned: \usepackage{harvard}

You can then use it like this: 

\citeasnoun[p.42]{knuth} writes that TeX is great... 
In \citepossesive[p.43]{knuth} book we can also see something else.

Which would become: 

Knuth (1901, p.42) writes that TeX is great... 
In Knuth's (1901, p.43)  book we can also see something else.

Note that there are several packages that offer the functionality of the harvard.sty macros. – Charles Stewart May 6 '11 at 13:27
