Academic Integrity @ IICS

"It's a requirement of all Creative Commons Licenses that you attribute the original author.  This means you can't just use a creative commons image without acknowledging the person who originally created it."

It is important to know that even the most innocent of actions can lead to bigger problems down the road. Using Google Images or copying a photo from most websites is much like plagiarism. Hopefully, by educating each other, we can avoid mistakes like this one and promote fair use of photos and other media on the web.

"When I write (or draw, paint, compose, etc.) something, I am presenting it as my work - a representation of my ideas. When the expressed ideas of another adds value to my work, and I include the expression of those ideas, then it is my responsibility to credit the creator of that expression; and that is not simply a matter of punctuation."
