A source of information is where you got your information from. It could be a book, a website, a database article, an interview, a video, etc. To cite your source means to tell people where you got your information. It's important to give credit to people. After all, you wouldn't want someone to pretend your hard work was theirs! We begin to learn about plagiarism starting in first grade, and then build this understanding year after year. We learn strategies for avoiding plagiarism, and, in the older grades, we learn how to cite our sources using a bibliographic tool called *MyBib.

*Note: The MyBib website is only used as a bibliographic tool for formatting citations. Students should not create an account on MyBib.
