Introduction
 'I found your speech to be good and original.
However, the part that was original was not good.
And the part that was good was not original.'

Samuel Johnson, to one of his less-motivated students


What do you own and would never want anyone to steal from you? We usually think only of 'things' when we think of stealing. Ideas, thoughts, discoveries can be stolen as well, known as intellectual theft, and is just as wrong.

Let's look at the definition of Plagiarize--
1. to steal and pass off the ideas or words of another as one's own
2.to use a created production without crediting the source
3.to commit literary theft
4.to present as new and original an idea or product derived from an existing source

from Merriam-Webster Collegiate Dictionary Online

Now let's look at how we can avoid plagiarism in our writing and the tools that will help us to cite our resources.
