Re: [LM_NET] Target: MLA Citations

[Maureen Irwin <msirwin@OPTONLINE.NET>]

I think it is our job to help students understand that whenever they use 
information from a source other than their own prior knowledge, they should 
cite it if they are going to use it in any kind of assignment.  This is 
called intellectual honesty or academic integrity. That goes for brochures, 
posters, powerpoints, even cartoons they post on bulletin boards. It's only 
fair to the reader (who may actually want to consult the original) as well 
as to the original creator, and maybe even more importantly, it gets them in 
the habit of acknowledging someone else's work.
