Plagiarism

(another's production) without crediting the source.”

Example of Magazine Article Citation
What’s a Good Source?
 START WITH THE DATABASES!!!
 Britannica Online
 Facts on File
 Other options if you need additional sources: .edu or .org
websites, as well as the recommended .coms. I should not see
unapproved .coms on your Works Cited page.
 Sweet Search is a great search engine option.
 Google is NOT a source! It’s a starting point -- not a source by
itself -- but again, Google should not be an option. Everything
can be found through our recommended sources.
