Does anyone know the rules about articles online?
« on: October 04, 2010, 21:23:10 »
I've just stubled upon this site theas400.com, could I just borrow the technical
articles from the site or do I need some kind of permission?. I am doing a school project.

Hello Abigail (and anyone else in similar situations), if you're copying text from any website, it is always best to provide proper citations. For citations used in college, MLA and APA are probably being used, but check with your instructor to be sure. You might be able to use the Son of Citation Machine: citationmachine.net
