6 Welcome to NUST Library Using the DDC to find books in the Library: The first time you visit the Library, simply browse, so as to familiarise yourself with the DDC arrangement. The shelves are clearly numbered, but if you cannot find the items you want, the Library staff will be pleased to assist you.

7 Welcome to NUST Library Searching the OPAC (ENCORE) for a Call Number: If you want to find a specific book in the Library, search the OPAC Then write down the call number which consists of the DDC number plus the first 3 letters of the first-named author s surname (or the first 3 letters of the title excluding articles i.e. a, an, the).

8 Welcome to NUST Library An example of a call number for an item with 3 authors: The book called: Marketing for hospitality and tourism by Philip Kotler, John Bowen and James Makens has the DDC number and the first 3 letters of the first named author s surname are KOT. Therefore the call number for the book is KOT

9 Welcome to NUST Library Using information legally/acknowledging sources and Avoid plagiarising When you write your assignment, you MUST acknowledge where you got your information. When you use someone else s words, and you do not acknowledge them as your source, you are plagiarising ; when you acknowledge them as a source, you are citing.

10 Welcome to NUST Library Citation styles When you cite, you need to do so according to a specific style. There are many different styles of referencing/citing, with three of the most widely known being: The American Psychological Association style (APA) The Modern Languages Association (MLA) and The Harvard style. The NUST uses the APA style

11 plagiarising Welcome to NUST Library

12 Welcome to NUST Library How to Avoid Plagiarism 1. Paraphrase 2. Quote 3. Cite in-text: Paraphrases; Quotations 4. Reference

13 Welcome to NUST Library How to paraphrase use your own words to express someone else's message or ideas. In a paraphrase, the ideas and meaning of the original source must be maintained; the main ideas need to come through, but the wording has to be your own (Bhagat, 2013).

14 Example of how to paraphrase 1. Original sentence Her life spanned years of incredible change for women Paraphrased version: She lived through an era of liberating reform for women (Smith, 2015). 2. Original sentence Giraffes like Acacia leaves and hay, and they can consume 65 pounds of food a day Paraphrased version: A giraffe can eat up to 65 pounds of Acacia leaves and hay every day (National Geographic, 2013).

15 In-Text Citations When you write your assignment, always briefly acknowledge your source in-text, i.e. if you are quoting, cite the Author Surname, year of publication and page numbers. If you are interpreting information, then you need only cite the Author surname and year (but it doesn t hurt to add the page number). In-text citations contain abbreviated information about a source, i.e. Quotations: Surname, Year, Page no. Paraphrases: Surname, Year NB: APA style uses name date method for in-text citing

16 In-text citations examples One (1) Author According to Lubans (2010, p.29) when you move toward self-management, towards empowerment, some staff members will want to know who is in charge.

17 NOTE: There is a rule for 1) The 1 st time you cite 3-5 authors 2) The second and subsequent times you cite 3-5 authors First in-text citation: If the names are outside the brackets, use and between the last 2 names, but if they are inside the brackets, use the ampersand &. List all of the Author surnames. e.g. Johnson, Taylor and Moore (2010) Johnson, Taylor and Moore (2010, p. 5) (Johnson, Taylor & Moore, 2010, p. 5)

18 Second and subsequent in-text citations: Write the first named Author surname followed by the term et al. e.g. Johnson et al. (2010) Johnson et al. (2010, pp ) (Johnson et al., 2010, p. 900) References: List all the 3-5 Author names in the citation and separate the names with a comma, and the last 2 with a comma and an &. e.g. Surname, A. A., Surname, B. B., Surname, C. C., & Surname, D. D. (Year). Title of book in italics and in sentence case: Subtitle if there is one in italics and in sentence case (xx ed.). City of publication, Country if not published in the USA: Publisher.

19 Two to five Authors Oshima and Hogue (2007) explain that the conclusion to an essay is a summary. The conclusion to an essay is a summary or review of the main points discussed in the body (Oshima & Hogue, 2007). Direct quote Or Löfström, Trotman, Furnari, and Shephard (2015, p. 436) noted that the current proactive ethos towards academic integrity places great expectations on academic staff and raises questions about how academics themselves view their roles and responsibilities. the current proactive ethos towards academic integrity places great expectations on academic staff and raises questions about how academics themselves view their roles and responsibilities (Löfström, Trotman, Furnari, & Shephard, 2015, p.436). Or

20 Six or More (6+) Authors Remember: Enter the surname of the 1st named author followed by the term et al.
