- 20. Department Why reference? “Referencing isthe process of acknowledging the sources you have used in writing your essay, assignment or piece of work. It allows the reader to access your source documents as quickly and easily as possible in order to verify, if necessary, the validity of your arguments and the evidence on which they are based.” - Palgrave Study Skills Online, http://www.palgrave.com/studentstudyskills/page/referencing-and- avoiding-plagiarism/ 20
- 21. Department 21 What is plagiarism? Passing off as your own a piece of work that is partly or wholly the work of another student Citing and referencing sources that you have not used Quoting, summarising or paraphrasing material in your assignment without citing the original source 'Recycling' a piece of your own work that you have previously submitted for another module or course (i.e. self-plagiarism).

Editor's Notes
- #10 Sign in to check details of copies, their availability and due date
- #11 DVDs are located in the shelves near the help desk as you come in to the Founder’s Library
- #17 Take a look at the subject guide (link on the slide) and under ‘Finding E-resources’ for a list of online resources relevant to Media Arts. On this and the next slide there are examples of two databases that provide journal articles – LibrarySearch will search these automatically, but sometimes it can be useful to pinpoint a search with a particular database so there are two here to try. Note the availability of the articles that you will find – this can help you to make a decision about which database to use.
- #21 “[it] helps to demonstrate that you have read widely, and considered and analysed the writings of others. […] Most importantly, good referencing is essential to avoid any possible accusation of plagiarism.”
- #22 Plagiarism is a term that describes the unacknowledged use of someone's work. This includes material or ideas from any (published or unpublished) sources, whether print, web-based (even if freely available) or audiovisual.”
- #24 Any verbatim use of a source, no matter how large or small the quotation, must be placed in quotation marks. The quotation must be accompanied, either within the text or in a footnote, by a precise indication of the source.
- #25 So if you a stating a fact that is common knowledge is or is widely accepted to be FACT e.g. President Obama is the president of the United States of America, a formula etc facts may not need to be cited, whereas ideas must always be cited. Deciding which facts or pieces of information require citation and which are common knowledge, and therefore do not require citation, isn’t easy. For example, finding the same fact or piece of information in multiple sources doesn’t necessarily mean that it counts as common knowledge. Your best course of action in such a case may be to cite the most credible or authoritative of the multiple sources. BUT if you are in doubt, err on the side of caution and cite
- #26 So this covers paraphrasing or summarising… either way, YOU DO STILL NEED TO CITE THE SOURCE
- #28 Excellent – I think we’ve all got to grips with when to cite or not to cite. Plagiarism occurs most commonly by NOT Referencing or citing the course correctly
- #29 Explain the difference between quoting and paraphrasing, point them to the style guide as this explains more fully
- #31 Ask them how they would look for this book on library search
- #32 Go through the structure of the reference and explain things like vol and issues Stress that if they get an online journal via one of our journal databases e.g. JSTOR, project muse, they just reference it like a journal article not a website
- #34 Mention that you just need to do the in text referencing
- #35 Mention that you just need to do the in text referencing
