Video and Media Search

Search Engines like google, yahoo, Clipblast make it easier to view videos and social media. These search engines allow you to look for any kind of video and social media that you want.

Any time that you use information from work that is not yours you need to cite your source. It doesn't matter if you get your information form a book, magazine, or web page you have to give credit to that source. If you copy more than a few lines exactly the way there are it needs to be put in quotations and you need to show where you found the information in parenthesis. If you are writing something that is common sense it does not need to have a citation. If you do not give credit to any of the information that you have found it is plagiarism. Plagiarism is taking any information that is not yours. A lot of colleges have very strict rules about plagiarism and will not tolerate it. Some people don't realize that it is considered plagiarism when they don't cite their sources. It is easy to just steal some one else's work but it is wrong. When you copy and paste things to get it done faster it could get you in trouble. There are some websites that have papers already written that you can access. These papers are called paper mills. A paper mill is already completed. If you use one of these papers it is still considered plagiarism because it is using someone else's work that is not your own.
