Giving Credit

When you write your research paper for your English instructor you are told to credit your sources.  Many students follow this instruction without understanding the importance of citing sources and giving credit to words, images, music, and ideas that are not their own. 

We are planning an information literacy day at the college to be scheduled this fall.  A part of the program for that day will be to share information on plagiarism, copyright, and crediting sources.

Take a look at this story and see if you think it was acceptable or unacceptable.

Do you think about copyright when you use images for your projects?  Read this and post your reaction.

When you are in doubt, be sure to cite.
