PLAGIARISM

Citing – C-I-T-I-N-G

You may use a small amount of someone else’s creative work in your project, paper, or presentation.

However, you MUST cite the source of the information in order to prevent plagiarism.

How do I do that??

There are several “formats” used today.

But we will use MLA formatting. It’s a commonly used ways to cite your sources.

MLA

In every project or paper where you use ideas that are not your own . . .

You should create a “Works Cited” page (or slide) also known as a “bibliography.”

One of the easiest ways to do this is to use an online citation maker

*bibme.org

At bibme.org You can copy/paste a URL (web)

address and get a citation for the information you find online.

You can type in the name of a book you’re using for information.

You can type in the name of a movie, magazine article, newspaper article, journal article . . .

AND BIBME CAN HELP YOU CREATE YOUR CITATION.

BIBME.ORG will build your “Works Cited” list . . . . . . And then you can print it off, or copy/paste the

citations onto a Word document, PowerPoint, or Google Doc.
