Citing Sources
Copyright and Plagiarism

How to cite your sources You need to GIVE CREDIT for the information you borrow from authors (books, websites, magazine articles, primary sources....).  This is called a CITATION.  All citations make up the BIBLIOGRAPHY.  If you don't give credit, then you are PLAGIARIZING, or stealing the information. This can get you in trouble!
