Citing of Sources

 

When you get information from any source, whether in a book, picture, web site, CD-Rom Encyclopedia or anywhere else, you MUST give credit to the creator of that source.

 

If you are using it for a printed class report or a Power Point Presentation in class, you must cite the resources in a bibliography.  If it is a picture, you need to show the source as well.  If you are placing material taken from another source on a web page, you MUST ask the permission of the source’s creator first. (Some exceptions apply, such as material from a government web site).

 

For information or images from a web site, you should include the following format to show where it came from:

 

Basic Web Page Citing:

Last name, First name of Author and any other Authors. “Title of Work.” Name of Site. Date of Posting/Revision. Organization. Date of Access <electronic address>.
