On the library orientation video I learned many different things about our school library. The first time I want into the library I had no clue on how to find a book or where the different books were. Now that I have watched the video I can go to the computer and search where the book will be and if it is in stock or if it is checked out. I will now save my self so much time when going into the library because I will have the books right at my fingertips. If I don’t know the complete name of the author or the complete name of the book I will be able to just put in the words that I do know and it will help me find what I need. If I have a question for the library I also found out that I can just email one of the librarians and they will get back to me as soon as they get the email. The search bar on the internet will let me search for a whole genre of books. If I look for fishing it will give me all the books that have to do with fishing or are about fish themselves it is so great and helpful for students at this school.

I learned from the online library orientation that the resources available for students to use is almost endless. Any student can search for whatever kind of paper they would want to look at. Academic journals are available, magazines, books, and even newspapers. You can even break down your search to titles or authors and even the call number if you know it. If there is information that a person needs to access and does not know how to, they can ask a librarian for help. If the book a person is looking for is not available or is checked out, the person can get the books information, give it to the librarians and they can have it usually delivered by the next day. With the academic search complete, a person can look up the information they need and if they do not know how to cite their information, there is a button on the left side of the screen that will even cite the information for you. Then all you have to do is copy and paste it onto your reference page. The library’s web page has any help a student would ever need for writing a paper or any work for class. I was very shocked at the information available for students to use on the library’s web page. If I ever need help with my papers or looking for books, the best place to go is to the library’s web page.
Resources from the library that I learned about were how to find a book located in the library. Also what the call number is on the book and to ask the librarian if I need help because they know everything about the library. I also learned how to find a good encyclopedia or another source that I may need on the computer. I learned how to find any type of book that I want.

Summary of videos
The first couple of videos told a little bit about what plagiarism is and how it can affect your life if you are caught plagiarizing. The last video exposed a journalist for lying about plagiarizing. He denied it at first but then came clean and said that he did commit plagiarism. In the first video it talked about a young lady that just graduated high school and was caught plagiarizing Megan McCafferty, a childhood inspiration of hers. The young lady said it was an honest mistake and that she never to do it but it’s to tell with some of her words being the same as McCafferty.
Response of videos
Personally I think it was an honest mistake because she probably got caught up in her writing and the words just started flowing and flowing. Once you get in a groove like that like it’s hard to think about anything except your write. I have no words for the journalist because he knew what he was doing and it was wrong but yet he still did anyway. The second would really help people, by teaching them things they can do so they aren’t plagiarizing anyone else’s work.

Plagiarism Summary
In the first video where Katie Couric interviews the Harvard student Kaavya Viswanathan about her using someone else’s work and words in her book without properly siting them. She said that she didn’t knowingly use the other woman’s word because she hadn’t read the books since high school and that she was going to fix all of the ideas that weren’t hers. In the second video it is the students and staff of York St John University giving examples of plagiarism. In the last video Howard Kurtz talks to Michael Moynihan about how an author names Jonah Lehrer Lies about his quotes and that they were right and all of them were made up. Lehrer took parts of other work and quotes that were said before and used them in his book.
Plagiarism Response
My response to these three videos about plagiarism is that if you decide to use someone else’s work that it need to be properly cited. It is very easy to use someone else’s work and not quote it correctly. Kaavya Viswanathan acted like was very sorry and didn’t mean to use the other lady’s work. Jonah Lehrer on the other had knew that what he did was wrong and that he shouldn’t have done it. If Michael Moynihan wouldn’t have found the mistakes and the plagiarism Lehrer would have never said that he knew he was wrong that he was sorry for doing it.
DeVante Dean Hayes
The point of these videos is to show us that we need to take our time and write a story or an essay cause if not at the end of the day you will feel like you need to look up whatever you are doing the story on. Even if it’s a little off word you still need to see or even bookmark where you got it from so that any confusion can be revised. If you do these things you can avoid all the hassle of people trying to research and see where you got it from. People get in a lot of trouble for doing these things.
I think that people take these things way out of context yeah sure she could be lying about the whole not knowing that she wrote it just like that but still if she’s deeply sorry and is offering to change it then people should just get off her back about it there’s way more things America could be worrying about than a couple words in a story are the same but said differently. I could tell that the girl was very sorry that it was a mistake that she made and she owned up to it. People live to see others fall to the ground that’s their job but geez.

I watched the videos on plagiarism and the effects of it. I watched one video on a woman who went to an Ivy League college and she wrote a book that she thought was totally her ideas that came from her head, but later she found out that she plagiarize her favorite author’s books. They said she was accused of 29 counts of plagiarism but the other author accused her of 40 counts of it. Plagiarism is where you use other people’s ideas and you either use it as your own thought or you would paraphrase it to sound like your work without citing it.

In my opinion is that plagiarism is hard to not do, many things have either already been said or done. Sometimes you can be writing a paper and it can be called plagiarism because it could sound like something someone else written. I do agree that you should cite your work if you do a research paper or a very important paper. I never got in trouble for plagiarism so I think that it is just a little thing, the only problem I ever had was citing but that is easy to do.
