Hi,
Thanks for your response about the two newspaper articles, that was really useful! I just heard back from our client asking how we’re going, I’ve told them we’ll get something to them by the end of the week.
I really loved the images you used in the report – they look great, but we need to check for copyright to see if we are able to use them before we send them the final report. We also need to make sure that all the resources we refer to, and have quoted from are referenced correctly.
Thanks, Lee

Signs that a work is still in copyright:

One article from a single issue of a journal or newspaper, or more than one article so long as it covers the same specific topic.
As long as you are only submitting your work for assessment and it won’t be made publicly available, you can use a ‘reasonable amount’. You must still attribute the work(Opens in a new tab) to its creator. A reasonable amount means:
For other works (such as sound recordings, films, etc.) only copy as much as you can justify for use in your assignment, not the entire work.
One chapter of a book, report or other written work, or ten percent (10%) of the published work.

Top three copyright tips
Why reference?
Using the right sources in your work provides you with the supporting evidence you need. Referencing is the acknowledgement of the sources that you use - you must reference all sources that you use including words and ideas, facts, images, videos, audio, websites, statistics, diagrams and data.
2. Referencing
1/3
Enables the reader to locate the sources referred to in your paper
Researchers rely on referencing to locate sources.
Demonstrates academic integrity
Proper referencing ensures that you have acknowledged your sources and that you have done your best to avoid plagiarism – the use of other people’s words, ideas or materials without proper acknowledgement.
2/3
Shows what you have read
Your references demonstrate the depth and the breadth of your reading.
Supports and strengthens your argument
When you take a position on an issue you need to support it with evidence gathered from the sources you have read, to try to convince your reader.
How it's done
Good referencing
Activity

3. Tools
1/9
As a digitally literate graduate, you should be able to effectively share information and ideas. To do this, you need to consider the best way of sharing information, and which tool will help you best communicate the message you are trying to share.
Sometimes this will be outlined in an assessment task, other times you will need to consider how best to share information.
You have to conduct a presentation, will you simply use Microsoft PowerPoint? Or will you think about using alternative platforms such as Prezi, Emaze or Padlet?
