To Avoid Plagiarism

Take clear, accurate notes about where you found specific ideas.
Write down the complete citation information for each item you use.
Use quotation marks when directly stating another person’s words.
Always credit original authors for their information and ideas.

Value
Organization
Coverage
Authority
Date

If you have any questions about a source be sure to ask a librarian or your professor.
