You have to cite for your right to party!

For your assignments you may get quotes and ideas from sources such as books and journals.  It's important to acknowledge where you got this material from.  This is called referencing and is a fundamental part of academic writing.

DkIT Library has created a booklet 'Credit where credit is due' which shows you how to reference sources for your assignment and avoid plagiarism.

To make things easier for you when referencing, the library has drop in sessions for EndNoteWeb.  EndNoteWeb is an online tool which allows you to save and store references and add them to your bibliography.  Click here to view details of upcoming drop in sessions.
