Copying and CreditsThe Web is a great place to do research for school assignments. When you do a report, it is important to give credit to where you got the information. This might include information you found in a book, a magazine, or from a web site. The author's name is usually (but not always) given at the very bottom of the page or pages of a web site. When you include your web sources in a bibliography, remember to put the URL in place of (or along with) the publisher's name if it is given. Whether you copy a part of someone's work exactly (as in a quotation) or simply use their ideas in your written work, always give proper credit to your information sources.
Important:
Look carefully at the order of author information (credits) above. It shows an example of how to cite a reference in order of: Author, title of item, http://address/filenames, date of document or download. Check with your teacher on how to write down credits or arrange the bibliography when you do a written project or report. Your teacher may want you to write the credits differently from the above sample. If you are ready to move onto Page 2 True or False, click the Next button. |
