Websites and search engines recommended for locating quality information
Googlitis: is an affliction that stalks students and adults who rely on this search engine wholeheartedly and fail to question how it generates results! - Alan November
When we begin to look for information, our first stop is usually a search engine such as Google. Just don't rely too heavily on the list of search-engine generated results, which are not ranked by relevance. Be sure to locate your information from a variety of sources. It is good to keep in mind that there are other places that you can find information that are free to use and easy to access. Below are some other great search engines and other websites where you can also find quality information.
Plagiarism
Plagiarism: ...The "wrongful appropriation" and "stealing and publication" of another author's "language, thoughts, ideas, or expressions" and the representation of them as one's own original work. (Wikipedia 2016)
...The unacknowledged use of other people's ideas or work. Plagiarism is often unintentional and can be avoided through careful work habits. Whether intentional or unintentional, plagiarism is recognized as a serious academic offence. (SFU 2016)
