In this week we learnt about citation. It is one of the tools and strategy to locate information. This topic very useful for our individual assessment: APA report and written report. For me this chapter quite interesting but confusing because we need to memorize all type of citation. In information technology class I already learnt about this topic but we are using references that already given in Microsoft word. By the way for information literacy all the type of citation we need to understand because we need to write without using references that already given in Microsoft word. Let’s me show you what I learnt in this week.
Session 1 : introduction to citation
Another name for citation is bibliography. It is list of references. Another word is Bibliography / References is a list of books and other material which have some relationship to each other. This material list contains some of component such as author, title, place of publication, publisher and year of publisher.
Why we need to use citation. It can avoid plagiarism. Plagiarism is using others’ idea and words without clearly acknowledging the source of the information.
CITATION AND DOCUMENTING INFORMATION SOURCES
APA styles
What is APA Style and why we use it.
