Citing Sources and Avoiding Plagiarism - Course Resource Guide  

This is a course resource guide developed by Shirley Roberts, Outreach Services Librarian.

Use the tabs above to learn why it is important to avoid plagiarism and cite sources, and locate books and other materials that will help you do both.

This is not intended to be an exhaustive list of resources; please do not hesitate to contact Library faculty for further assistance.

Plagiarism is using other people's ideas without giving them proper credit for it. When you do this, you are implying that the ideas are your own.

Doing this violates ethical standards. It can also endanger your grade. When in doubt, ask your professor or a librarian for help.
