Privacy-sensitive information
In the basic course, you learned that you should always acknowledge a source if you use the work of other people. However, there are some types of information which you may never include in your reports. On the other hand, there is some information that may be used by everyone. So how do you know whether or not you may use certain information in your reports?
So, you may not use information as you see fit. For example, you must always acknowledge your sources. On the internet, you can often see what you may do with certain information when a Creative Commons (CC) licence is provided. With a CC licence, an author gives permission to everyone to use his or her work, subject to certain conditions. “Use” here means that you may copy, distribute, and display the work to others.
A CC licence consists of the following building blocks:
Building block
Meaning
Attribution. Others may use your work, as long as they mention your name. This building block comes with every licence.
Non-commercial. Others may use your work, as long as they derive no income from it.
NoDerivatives. Others may use your work, as long as they do not alter it or use it as the basis for new material
ShareAlike. Others may use your work as a basis for creating new material, as long as they use the same licence as you have.
Refworks
If you would like to keep all your sources in one place and make quick references to them in Word, then use the RefWorks program. Watch the video for more information.
If you would like to use RefWorks, go to the Library website to create a free account.
