The library @ Reynolds created a video to help students learn what plagiarism is and how to avoid it. The tutorial includes examples of plagiarism, academic consequences, tips on avoiding plagiarism, and examples of how to cite direct quotes and paraphrases in APA and MLA style. It was recently updated to include information on AI.
