Remember:  always list your bibliography in alphabetical order - by the author's
surname or by title if there is no author.

E: Footnoting

You should footnote everything that is not your own work. We use the
Author-Date (Harvard) System of footnoting. It is probably the easiest to use.

When you directly quote from another source you should place the author’s
surname and date of publication of the source in brackets at the end of the
sentence. (Smith, 2000, page number) If there is no author, then cite the
title of the item.

If there is more than two authors listed then you may put ‘et al’ after the first
author’s surname. This indicates to the reader that there is more than one author.

COPYRIGHT
Copyright protects the way ideas are expressed, not the idea itself. You do not need to post any notice of copyright for your own work to be protected under the copyright laws. You do not infringe copyright if you use your own words to express someone else’s ideas.As a student you may copy material if it is for study or research and if it is ‘fair’. Just because material is posted on the Internet does not mean it is copyright free or in the public domain.

PRINTED MATERIAL: (provided the use is fair)
Books: you may reproduce 10% or one chapter
Magazines/Newspapers: you may reproduce one article per resource This 10% does not apply to artistic works, recordings, computer programmes, anything unpublished, text or music in a publication under 10 pages, work published in a collection or perform a work in public. In order to copy this material legally you must consider what is fair under the following headings:The purpose and character of the copying – is it only for research?
The nature of the work – is it a sophisticated piece of work?
Can the work be commercially purchased at a reasonable price?
The effect of the copying on the potential market for the resource?
The amount and importance of the part to be copied in relation to its role in the original? Remember: Copying may be acceptable if you are copying for research or study ONLY. If it is not for your research or study you are probably breaking copyright – especially if you
re produce someone else’s work in your work. It is sensible to acknowledge all work that is not your own but this still does not excuse you if you infringe on copyright laws. THE

INTERNET
You can infringe copyright laws when copying from the Internet. Always check web sites for copyright information. If the copyright notice does not prohibit you, you may be able to copy for your research if your copying is fair. If there is no notice you may imply that the owner of the site allows copying if it is for research and if it is fair.
Why not book the digital camera and take your own photos to put in your assignment work.   The camera can be borrowed from the library desk for use at night and over the weekend.

WEB PAGES
If you place information from someone’s site onto your own site, you will probably be infringing copyright. Ask for permission to do this from the copyright owner. If you want to put links to other sites on your page you should ask the permission of the author of the site. You may be able to do it if in the web address the owner of the site is clearly discernible. It is a good idea to place statements indicating that any links created are for convenience only and by providing the link, you are not giving the person using your site permission to copy anything from the web site linked to. To put music on a website you need the copyright owners permission. Even though it may be for research it is probably not fair. Note that the amount you may reproduce may have to be guided by how important the information is to the rest of the work.As with all things, if in doubt seek permission from the copyright owner.
