- Copyright and Citation Links
When a work is created it is owned by its creator. Copying that work is a form of stealing called plagiarism. Copyright laws and "fair use" guidelines protect creators' intellectual property while allowing students to use portions of that work if they cite credit to the originator. A nice tutorial in the steps to researching can be found at the OSLIS "Secondary or Elementary How To" link, as well as a CITATIONMAKER tool for doing bibliographies correctly.
Copying and pasting another's work and claiming credit is plagiarism. While technologically possible, it is ethically wrong. Schools have in place disciplinary consequences and want to promote ethical research in our students.

District Media SpecialistDoug Hoffman, LCSD Media Specialist
If you have questions about the libraries in our district, please feel free to contact me at my email shown below. I've been a teacher with the LCSD for 34 years, the last 12 as a Media Specialist. I'm interested in promoting reading and seeing students succeed in seeking the information that they need.
Our district serves a diverse population, and our media centers need to be welcoming hubs of learning for all. Libraries are not just about finding answers to questions, but about questioning the answers...
