Plagiarism? What is this thing of which you speak?

Greetings all!

Hope that your holiday was swell.

Today I wanted to draw your attention to two new pages that have been added to the library website. Under the Research Connection menu heading.

The first link is to a page on selecting resources for selecting and analyzing resources. Of course, there is a multitude of resources provided by the library, but sometimes you have to go beyond to find research materials. This page gives you guidelines and assistance on how to determine if an online source is acceptable for a school research project. There are also links to informative videos.

Most recently, the Plagiarism 101 page was added to help provide students with a better understanding of what plagiarism is and how to avoid it. Most people seem to understand that plagiarism is turning in someone else’s work as their own, but there is more to it than simply copying, and this page is intended to make that clear. There are also links to other websites that provide a whole lot more information as well as informational videos, including this blast from Mr. Guinn’s past.

Happy New Year, and remember, it’s better to cite than be sorry.
