Research Reminders:

 

Ask the library to get a bibliograpy sheet or try this website:

BIBLIOGRAPHY HELP

Always do the following:

1) Take notes from your sources, only
writing down key words.

2) Record the bibliographic information
before you take notes.

3) Put any direct words or phrases in
quotations.

4) Give bibliographic information for
pictures and maps.

5) If you are unsure, ask your library
media specialist or request permission
from the copyright owner.

Definition according to The New York Public Library Kid's Guide to Research by Deborah Heiligman (page 26):

"When you use the words exactly as they are written in a book and don't put that section in quotation marks, you're copying someone else's work. That is called plagiarism, and it's against the law."
