How to Help a Friend on the Bibliography Without Committing Plagiarism

When a classmate asks you for help with his or her Bibliography, you should ...

1. never share your Bibliography or Works Cited with a classmate.
2. never give a classmate a complete citation.
3. remind your friend that the Bibliography Notes 2018-19 page exists. This page contains all the advice, models, and source information a person could ask for.
4. give your friend the following information only, in this order: 

• The title of the essay
• The title of the anthology / source
• The author of the essay
• The page numbers of the essay

Remember, if you let a classmate copy your work - either intentionally or inadvertently - you are also guilty of plagiarism. The penalty for both the borrower and the lender is a 0 on the assignment and a referral.
