PLAGIARISM "To use another person's ideas or expressions in your writing without acknowledging the source is to plagiarize. Plagiarism, then, constitutes intellectual theft...."
This and other quotations used below are all taken from section 1.8 (pages 29-34) of the MLA Handbook for Writers of Research Papers by Joseph Gibaldi, 5th edition. New York: The Modern Language Association, 1999. Available at the Shapiro Undergraduate Library Reference Desk. PE 1478 .G43 1999. To plagiarize is to copy text from a book, an article, a friend’s paper, or any web site without giving credit to the author. Reworking somebody else’s sentences with a thesaurus is still plagiarism. You can change every word in the sentence but if the idea came from someone else, you have plagiarized!
