  We’ve all been there before. It’s late and you still need to create a bibliography for a report. Your references are scattered about on pieces of paper or in multiple documents saved in multiple files on your computer. Help is here! The Running Reference Database is a software application to help you organize all types of references on an ongoing basis. It is a cumulative application so that at the end of the school year, you can look back with an overview of the resources you used throughout the year. Let us know what you think about it!

  One of the most common misconceptions about Internet content is that it is free and can be used without any consideration to ownership and copyright restrictions. As we all know, professional journalists and photographers spend years in school to master their craft. Evaluating Internet content, both text and multimedia, should be the first step, not the last, in the process of assembling resources for a report. This section will provide a basic foundation in how to evaluate Internet content for copyright restrictions.
 

Copyright & Content
 

What you should know about copyright:

Do you know the differences between the Creative Commons licenses for the use of digital content? Or do you even know about Creative Commons licenses? Did you know that not all material on the Library of Congress website is free of copyright restrictions even though it is a government website? Avoid a copyright conundrum!
