Copyright and Plagiarism

What is plagiarism? (And why you should care!) Presented by Ms. Hennessy Library Information Specialist Taken from: Power Tools Recharged by Joyce Kasman Valenza (2004).

I sometimes copy from a friend’s work. I sometimes copy and paste blocks of text from electronic sources without giving credit to the author. I sometimes “borrow” photos, clip art, and video clips from websites without acknowledging the creator. I usually change a few words if I borrow from the work of another person when presenting it as my own. Consider these scenarios...

If… ,[object Object],[object Object],You have probably plagiarized!

Two types of plagiarism ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]

Lots of excuses… It’s okay if I don’t get caught! I was too busy to write that paper! (Job, big game, too much homework!) My teachers expect too much! I’ve got to get into ??? U.! My parents expect “A”s! This assignment was BORING! Everyone does it! No one gets caught!

In-text citations ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]

Do I have to cite everything?

Nope! ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],Hooray for common knowledge!

Examples of common knowledge ,[object Object],[object Object],If you see a fact in five or more sources, and you are fairly certain your readers already know this information, it is likely to be “common knowledge.” When in doubt, CITE!
