10/24 Class Work Review

I feel like I have said this before in one of my posts, so here's to déjà vu and reiteration. You would not be able to do library research without dealing with plagiarism, paraphrasing correctly, copyright vs. plagiarism, and the different types of licenses. Research is about exploring a certain topic because you either want to find certain information to extend your knowledge or that and you need to for a research paper for a class. Research is also about finding facts, opinions, and related documents to your very topic. Those factors are key to research because they are the components of your paper that make up for your lack of knowledge and expertise in a certain area. Therefore, plagiarism becomes super important because you are quoting, paraphrasing, etc. someone else's work and you want your paper to be taken seriously. Sometimes you may do a slideshow or have a blog post where you need to research a image to post, knowing what the differences are between the types of licenses and copyright vs. plagiarism is the key roles for those components in library research.
Just as we have applied this knowledge in this class, we can do the same for our other classes. If I were to be doing a paper for my history class that required an extra source, whether it be newspaper, image, diary entry, etc., then I would be able to find those sources using my knowledge. I would be able to know how to cite so I do not plagiarize and know in what ways I can use it under the type of license. As for any questions, I do not have any at the moment.
