Where to find needed information for bibliographies:
Book – the title, author, publication city and publisher are usually on the title page. The copyright date
is usually on the back of the title page.
Encyclopedia – if there is an author of the article it will be on the first page of the article or at the end
of the article. Some encyclopedia articles have no listed author. You also need the title of the article and
encyclopedia and the most current copyright date of the encyclopedia, found on the back of the title
page. For APA citations you need page number(s), publisher and place of publication.
Newspaper and Magazine articles – you need the author and title of the article, date of the
newspaper/magazine and page(s) the article appeared on. For MLA citations you need the city and state
of publication for newspapers.
Scholarly Journals – title of article and journal, author, date and pages of article, and volume and issue
number are all needed. Most volume and issue numbers can be found on the title page of the journal.
On-line encyclopedia – author and title of article, title, owner and subscriber of encyclopedia, date
visited, and full Internet address is needed. On many on-line encyclopedias some of this information is
provided at the end of the article.
Web site – author and title of page, date page created or updated, sponsoring organization, date visited,
and full Internet address are needed. Sometimes it can be difficult to find an author or date of last update.
Power Library database – information needed varies from database to database, but generally you need
the author, title and date of the article, title of magazine or book, volume and issue of journals and
magazine, name, owner and subscriber of database, and date accessed.
Taking notes
It will be easier to arrange your information if you use note cards. However, taking notes on paper is fine.
If you use paper, it will be easier if do not put notes from multiple sources on the same page; use one page
(or two or three – how ever many it takes) per source. When you start taking notes from a new source, get
a new piece of paper.
You need to paraphrase or summarize the information you find. This helps to prevent plagiarism. DO NOT
copy information word for word unless it is absolutely necessary, and then be sure to enclose it in
quotation marks.
Summarizing – putting information into your own words in a much shorter form than the original source.
Paraphrasing – putting information into your own words but the section usually contains the same
amount of words as the original. Usually you end up copying certain phrases; be sure to put them in
quotation marks. You will need to use in-text citations or footnotes when including this information in
your paper.
Quoting – at times there is no way to re-phrase a section of text or you want to retain the original words
for effect. In these cases, you need to copy the small section word for word and put all of the information
in quotation marks. You will need to use in-text citations or footnotes when including this information in
your paper. If your quote runs for more than 40 words (APA) or four typed lines (MLA), check the
specific style guide for guidelines.
Plagiarism – Merriam Webster’s defines plagiarize as “to steal and pass off (the ideas or words of
another) as one’s own or to use (another’s production) without crediting the source.” Plagiarism occurs
when you copy another’s writing, either intentionally or unintentionally, and include it in your paper
without giving proper credit.
Plagiarism usually comes in two forms: “Using another person’s ideas, information, or expressions without
acknowledging that person’s word constitutes intellectual theft. Passing off another person’s ideas,
information, or expression as your own to get a better grade or gain some other advantage constitutes
fraud” (Gibaldi 66).
Williams Valley classifies plagiarism as cheating. Those caught cheating (in this case plagiarizing) will
receive a zero for the activity with no opportunity to make up the work. Students caught plagiarizing will
also not be eligible for the honor roll during that marking period.
