1. Copyright, Plagiarism, & your Websites How to deal with copyright and plagiarism issues By Jennifer L. Bowie

2. Remember: Anything on your website that did not originate in your own head should be cited. This includes:  Direct quotes  Paraphrases  Information  Design templates  Images  Screenshots

3. Also remember: Anything that is copyrighted (and anything that is published online is copyrighted) must be used correctly or not at all  Copyrighted means they own the image/text/whatever and say whether or not you can use it  Follow fair use guidelines if you use it. Fair use factors: Character of the use Nature of the work to be used Amount of work Effect use would have on the market

4. Using Text: Quotes, Paraphrases, & Information Follow regular citations guidelines for using text:  For direct quotes: put it in quotes or block quote it. Use an in-text citation and include source in a works cited/reference page (or equivalent)  For paraphrases and information: make it clear where the paraphrasing/info starts and stops. Use an in-text citation and include source in a works cited/reference page (or equivalent)  For all: use in-text citations and include a works citied/reference/bibliography page A great resource for correctly citing sources: The Purdue Owl http://owl.english.purdue.edu/handouts/research/index.html http://owl.english.purdue.edu/handouts/research/index.html

5. Why should you cite?

6. Using Images: Read the rules: Check the “disclaimers” and “terms and conditions” to see if you can use it, for what, and how (and follow the rules!) It’s best to get permission from the owner of the copyright to use the images, and this is vital if your project will be used outside the class

7. Using Images: con. Identify the source of your image & a link  Cite the author next to the material (like below) & URL  Cite the permission on your sites work cited/permissions page If you did not get permission then treat it like text your cited (but do get permission if it does not follow fair use or if you use it outside of this class) Example: Image Courtesy of Purdue University Online Writing Lab http://owl.english.purdue.edu/

8. Your Permissions & Works Cited Page(s): If any information, text, formats, images, or graphics comes from an outside source you should have a works cited/reference page and a permissions page. These can be combined. Works cited/reference/bibliography page: Follow standard formatting as you would for a paper. Include:  “A brief description of the material.  Address of the page on your Web site containing the material.  Name of the Web site where you found the material.  Address of the Web site where you found the material.  Name of the person you contacted.  Date permission was granted.  The format of the permission request (email, letter, phone conversation, etc.).” These bullets are a quote from: http://depts.washington.edu/trio/train/howto/pieces/writing/citing. shtml http://depts.washington.edu/trio/train/howto/pieces/writing/citing. shtml

9. Copyleft and Public Domain Images Note: These still do need to be cited and need to follow general copyright laws. However these sources may lead you to images that can be used in a wider variety of uses. Creative Commons: Tools, images, music, text with a variety of copyright levels, and much with only some rights reserved. Creative Commons Government images: Images created by government agencies (like NASA and the park services) are available for public use. Do check the websites for particular guidelines. Flickr: Many of Flickr’s images are posted as “creative commons” images and have a variety of copyright levels, and many have only some rights reserved. Do be especially careful with these and check out each image’s individual status. Also, make sure you follow Flickr’s guidelines for use (which include a link back to Flickr for each image).

10. Citing in Podcasts Use vocal in-text citations whenever material comes from outside sources:  Example: In this podcast article, I respond to Warnick’s call on page 327 of “Looking to the Future” “ [QUOTE] for a move away from printcentric criticism.”[END QUOTE] Provide a full works cited/reference page in the transcript and/or lyrics section of the album info Make sure you cite music and include where it can be found. Examples: “Screen Space’s opening music today is “African Dance” by Apa Ya off of Headroom Project and the closing music is “Survival” by Beth Quist off of “Shall We Dance”. Both these selections are available from Magnatune.” …here is one of my favorite songs off the Extraordinary Contraptions album you could win; this song is “Never Halfway Only”. The song and/or album are available on their website theextraordinarycontraptions.com, Last.fm and nimbit theextraordinarycontraptions.comLast.fmnimbit

11. Citing in Blogs, Wikis, and Websites Link any source info to the page one the website, blog, wiki,… you got it from Consider footnotes to cover in-text and full source info in one! If not then:  Include in-text citations and  Provide either : A full works cited page as a separate page (best for websites where additional resources will not often be added) A full list of the works cited at the bottom of the page or relevant post (best for blogs and wikis)

12. How can put this in action? What do you think? How will you do this? Does the type of site matter?

14. Follow these guidelines and you should have no copyright and plagiarism issues for this project But do remember, you must get permission to use images and text outside of this class and for websites not associated with your classes. Also remember, any image, text, information or anything that was not in your own head or your original work must be cited and must follow copyright laws. Not doing so is not only illegal, unethical, and breaks school policies, but with result at least in a F for the project and possibly and F for the class and a note in your file.
