It is ILLEGALILLEGAL and UNETHICALUNETHICAL 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
and you may NOTNOT 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.
