What is proper use of a source?
Proper use of a source means giving the source you used for information written credit for their intellectual property, thoughts or ideas. If you didn’t already know the information, but found it somewhere else (a book, online, or elsewhere,) that requires you to cite your source. This can be done in a number of ways; please see the LLCC resources below for more information.
