Someone usually asks about plagerism at least once during a year. I just found this site (a Louisiana Library site) that leasts some sources to read that will help students avoid plagerism in writing. I figured it would be useful for genealogy too. Good luck. You should probably go to the main site (see just below) to be able to click on the links. http://www.lsus.edu/library/Plagiarism.htm *Resources for understanding and avoi**ding plagiarism * *The links below will lead you to a variety of sites that explain plagiarism, and provide guidance for how to avoid plagiarism in scholarly works. * <http://wps.prenhall.com/hss_understand_plagiarism_1/0,6622,427064-main,00.html> * Prentice Hall's companion site for *Understanding Plagiarism * <http://wps.prenhall.com/hss_understand_plagiarism_1/0,6622,427064-main,00.html> * Plagiarism.org's page *What is Plagiarism?* <http://www.plagiarism.org/research_site/e_what_is_plagiarism.html> * Indiana University's site, *Plagiarism: what it is and how to recognize and avoid it* <http://www.indiana.edu/%7Ewts/pamphlets/plagiarism.shtml> * *Avoiding Plagiarism*, by Purdue's Online Writing Lab <http://owl.english.purdue.edu/handouts/research/r_plagiar.html> * Georgetown University's site, *What is plagiarism?* <http://www.georgetown.edu/honor/plagiarism.html> * UC Davis, *Avoiding plagiarism* <http://sja.ucdavis.edu/avoid.htm>** <http://sja.ucdavis.edu/avoid.htm> * The Writing Place at Northwestern University, *Avoiding plagiarism* <http://www.writing.nwu.edu/avoiding_plagiarism.html> * *The correct use of borrowed information*, a site from Winthrop University <http://www.winthrop.edu/wcenter/handoutsandlinks/plagiar.htm> * *Citing sources and avoiding plagiarism*, from Duke University <http://www.lib.duke.edu/libguide/citing.htm>
