copyright statement

image

images, music or video showcased online
• You wouldn’t steal from a shop so don’t steal from a
website
4. 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, video and audio
