According to the Oxford English Dictionary, plagiarism is "the action or practice of taking someone else's work, idea, etc and passing it off as one's own." 

The library’s Citation & Academic Honesty Tutorial can help you learn about what constitutes plagiarism, how to avoid plagiarism, and when you need to give credit to another author or creator.

To learn more about how to cite your sources, see the library’s Citation Guide.
