A correctly cited source
for the link on the right.
To quote something
or somebody
Always give credit when credit is due
 Your
own ideas
 Your
own pictures
 Your
own artwork
 Things
that are common knowledge
(Who our president is. What our school mascot is.)
 Information
in the public domain
(Information where the copyright has expired and you
are free to use the information without citing your
source)
…count on citing it, every time.
Assume that everything is copyrighted.
When you write a paper, when you
make a power point, etc.
It is ILLEGAL and UNETHICAL to use
something as though it is yours.
Mrs. Hackett often says in her
Information Literacy class;
“Plagiarism is not only wrong, but you
can get into big trouble by
plagiarizing. You can get an F, you
can even get suspended. When you
are in college you can get kicked out
of a university for plagiarism. In the
real world, you can lose your job if
you plagiarize. It is no laughing
matter.”

You cut and paste the website
you want to cite right here.
For now we won’t worry about filling in any
additional information on this page.
Just hit the ‘Autocite’ button!
And here is your source. Cited perfectly!
Copy and paste it into your Sources Cited page
or area of your work.
Even those have to be cited
when you use them!
You need to cite any photo or
graphic you use in your work,
just like you cite where you
searched and found information
to write your paper.
But, have you ever had this
happen?
www.iclipartforschools.com
That means that the
image is COPYRIGHTED
NOT
and you may
use
it without permission.
Use the resources on your school library website whenever you
can! The online resources page has Iclipartforschools.com
It is the BEST!
You can search for any graphic
or photo you want!
Notice the watermark?
Since you went to the school library website you are safe to click on
the top ‘download’ button on this page and you will be allowed to
freely copy this graphic to use and cite in your project.
COOL huh?
You will right click on this, copy and
paste it into a new Word document and
then size it to use in your work!
Have you ever gone to Google to get
an image? Many images on Google
are not free. They are copyrighted
and someone expects you to pay to
use them.
See this photo? If I were to cite the
photo I would NOT write
GOOGLE.com. I would need to click
on where it says “horses.jpg” and go
to dynamicdrive.com to get the
total web address to cite the photo.
This looks more complicated to me. I
will need to copy the web address at
the top of this page, but as you can
see, the horse picture really isn’t
something that this company is selling.
It is just a photo they are using to
share information about something
else. This is not a good website for
students to use, is it?
 It’s
easy! Write down your own notes when
you use a book, website, etc. You are really
just looking for dates, facts and basic
information. How you write your report is up
to you in your own words.
 Cite
your sources! Put all your resources
through Easybib.com and add that to your
work.
 Remember
to do that with images too.
Giving Credit: Cite Your Resources!
 Also,
remember just changing a few words
that an author writes is still plagiarism. Save
the facts and dates and write it all in your
own words.
 If
you wish to use exactly what the author
said, you may. That is a direct quote and
you need to make sure you use quotation
marks “” around the exact words when you
copy them to use.
So don’t
plagiarize.
Don’t ignore
copyright rules.
