The following tutorials have been designed to assist students in gathering and using information electronically.
Each library has a responsibility to make every effort to meet the information and reading needs of its community. However, given the wide range of user needs, the total responsibility for local needs cannot be met solely by local collections. Therefore, the lending of materials among libraries for the use of individuals is vital.
You are eligible to borrow if you are either a student at Richland Community College or a resident of the Richland Community College District. Please contact any LRC staff member if you have questions about your eligibility.

Plagiarism is a form of academic dishonesty - in short, cheating. In general, plagiarism occurs when a writer presents the words, ideas, or information of another writer as his or her own. This can take many forms:
The Internet is enormous with millions of web pages and hundreds of new pages being added every day. It can be a confusing place, especially since anyone can post information to the Internet on any topic. But the Internet can also be an excellent source for finding materials for research papers and projects of all types and subjects. However it is essential that any Web site be evaluated before information from it is used.
English 102 students should use the following guidelines for citing electronic sources in their papers. The MLA Handbook for Writers of Research Papers (MLA) covers electronic sources of materials (section 4.9). These recommendations are for electronic sources online or on CD-ROM. Internet sources are cited in a somewhat different manner. Examples provided reflect databases available in the LRC.
Access to the databases on this page is available only on-campus. To access these databases from an off-campus location, please go to the Remote Access to Electronic Databases page.
