ETHICAL USE OF INFORMATION
WHAT IS PLAGIARISM?
• Copying• Paraphrasing• Not acknowledging the information source• May be intentional• Using essay banks• Copying other people’s work• Copy and paste from websites
• May be unintentional• Don’t know any better• Don’t know how to reference or use quotes• Don’t know how to make notes
USING IMAGES
• The image belongs to the creator even if there is no copyright statement• You must have permission to reproduce an image• You must have separate permission to alter an
image• Many artists earn their living from sale of images,
music or video showcased online• You wouldn’t steal from a shop so don’t steal from
a website
HOW TO AVOID PLAGIARISM
• Use a number of good sources of information• Make notes using bullet points or spider diagrams
of key words and concepts, rather than copy and paste• Write up from the notes rather than from the
source• Learn how to quote and use references• Google Advanced usage rights – free to use and
share• Copyright applies to written information, images,
