Increasingly academic databases are including the ability to track citations forward and backward in time to discover who is citing whom:

• Provide links to works cited in a given reference.
• Provide links to works that have cited a given reference.
• See  "Who's Citing Whom?" Research Guide for details.

RefWorks is a web-based bibliographic management tool that enables you to:

• Insert formatted references into your paper
• Format your footnotes and bibliographies
• Create a personal database online
• Store references which are accessible from any computer linked to the Internet
• Collect references from your favorite article indexes
• Organize your research
• Search a wide variety of article databases and import references
• Sort and organize those references into folders
• Web Access from anywhere
• Share references with others

The Citing Sources page offers links to guides for the most frequently used citation systems. These citation systems are available in RefWorks for the automatic creation of bibliographies. However, it's always essential to check automated output. So, even if you use RefWorks, reference to citation guides is always necessary.

Many questions arise every year concerning photocopying and scanning by students and faculty.  Since this is a legal question, it is impossible for a lay person (non-attorney) to give meaningful advice beyond stating some of the basic principles behind copyright. 

This page, therefore, does not provide legal advice.  For legal advice one must contact an attorney.

According to the United States Constitution (Article 1, Section 8) copyright exists "To promote the Progress of Science and useful Arts, by securing for limited Times to Authors and Inventors the exclusive Right to their respective Writings and Discoveries."  Congress codified this constitutional right into law -- the latest major revision being the Digital Millenium Copright Act of 1998.

The fundamental principle:  Items in the public domain may be copied while items still under copyright may not be copied without the permission of the rights holder.

In referencing the following websites, it would be helpful to keep three vary different scenarios in mind since context can be very important in determining the legality, appropriateness, or risk of copying all or part of a particular item.  They are:

• Copying for personal, private use. 
• Copying for classroom use.  This may fall under the "fair use" doctrine if several conditions are met.
• Copying for distribution.  Warning, this can include any copying that is shared beyond "fair use" in the classroom including posting a work to the web in whole or in part.  Distribution is the key whether one intends to profit from that distribution or not.
