Research Journal, Part 2 Plagiarism Summary

So Exciting!
I Feel as if I am Learning information that is helping me battle the beast-Internet/computer.
I knew how important plagiarism was since I was a young teenager.
During this assignment I did find it very helpful to have tabs open so I could go back and forth between them to review information. I was able to locate the IRIS tutorials on the library site easily and will use them in the future as a resource. I will try to be more organized when it comes to gathering information.  Last quarter for a Health Class, I had to do a section of a group paper and I found myself  not having all of the information for quotes that I wanted to use because I didn't have all of the published information(Publication location & Company) Sometimes, I didn't even have the complete title of a book or article. I also forgot to get web address to quotes and charts. So in the future,  any paper or research assignment I will defiantly be more organized while gathering citation. I get very nervous about the bibliography section and sometimes get confused on exactly how to cite multiple author sources or live broadcast sources.  I found the Purdue site very helpful for this and  have placed it in my "favorites" for future references. It is my hope to be more aware of what needs to be collected and to get all of the "must have information"  as I collect it, so I can utilize sources to help my assignments with substance and strength.
