and Citation Styles
What is copyright?
The exclusive and assignable legal right, given to the originator for a fixed number of years, to print, publish, perform, film, or record literary, artistic, or musical material.
The Concise Oxford English Dictionary. Ed. Catherine Soanes and Angus Stevenson. Oxford
University Press, 2004.
Fair Use
U.S. Code: Title 17, Section 107 governing Fair Use
Sec. 107. Limitations on exclusive rights: Fair use
Notwithstanding the provisions of sections 106 and 106A, the fair use of a copyrighted work, including such use by reproduction in copies or
phonorecords or by any other means specified by that section, for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching (including multiple copies for classroom use), scholarship, or research, is not an infringement of copyright. In determining whether the use made of a work in any particular case is a fair use the factors to be considered shall include -the purpose and character of the use, including whether such use is of a commercial nature or is for nonprofit educational purposes;
the nature of the copyrighted work; the amount and substantiality of the portion used in relation to the copyrighted work as a whole; and
the effect of the use upon the potential market for or value of the copyrighted work. The fact that a work is unpublished shall not itself bar a finding of fair use if such finding is made upon consideration of all the above factors.

Reproductions of Copyrighted Works by Educators and Librarians
Limitations on exclusive rights: Reproduction by libraries and archives. The following is a reprint of the entire text of section 108 of title 17, United States Code.
AUBG
library respects Bulgarian and International laws and agreements with
respect to the use of
copyright materials. The AUBG library acknowledges that copyright exists
upon the creation, in durable form, of any original expression of ideas,
regardless of format - print, digital, graphical, audio or video - in
which such expression occurs.
General
Guidelines
Under
certain conditions specified in the law, libraries and archives are
authorized to furnish a photocopy or other reproduction. One of these
specified conditions is that the photocopy or reproduction is not to be
"used for any purpose other than private study, scholarship, or
research." If a user makes a request for, or later uses, a
photocopy for purposes in excess of "fair use," that user may
be liable for copyright infringement.
It
is the responsibility of the individual using copyright material to
ensure that appropriate permission has been obtained prior to using it.
Questions relating to copyright issues should be referred to the
appropriate persons within AUBG Library.
Internet
resources, audio and video materials enjoy copyright protection
regardless of the format in which they are stored.
Library
Copyright Policy on Library Reserves
AUBG
library routinely accepts and places
single and/or multiple copies of copyrighted materials received from
AUBG faculty on reserve under the following conditions:
The
photocopies are considered to be the instructor's property.
Library
assumes that any copies submitted for reserve have been made in
compliance with the copyright laws and the AUBG policy.
A
faculty may provide duplicate photocopies (three at most) when a
course is large enough to require more than one of an assigned
photocopy.
AUBG
Library staff will not photocopy materials for faculty to place on
reserve.
The
appropriate warning notice is stamped on reserve materials.
AUBG
Library will, at the end of the semester, return to faculty all
copies of materials that have been placed on reserve. Faculty may
not reuse copyright material in subsequent semesters or years
without obtaining permission from the copyright owner.
All
materials on reserve are removed at the end of the course unless
they are requested for another class.
Whenever
possible, materials should be provided to the library
electronically.
Photocopy
Services
The
following copyright notice must be placed in prominent locations near
the printers and photocopy machines, to insure awareness of the
copyright laws.

Oxford Dictionary of Difficult Words states that, “plagiarism is taking the words or ideas of someone else and pass it off as one’s own”.
How to Avoid Plagiarism
1. Give yourself ample time for profound research.
2. Take careful notes of sources used, so that you do not forget them by time you need to include them in your bibliography.
3. Allow yourself sufficient time for revising your paper.
4. Check your Writing professors' syllabuses. Most of them include enough information on research and writing and how to paraphrase and quote.
For additional help and suggestions please ask the librarian at the Reference desk or email at lib@aubg.bg
In the process of writing the paper, you
are going to use the knowledge and works of other writers and
researchers. Whenever you do that you will need to document your source
by indicating what you borrowed and from whom. There are various styles
of citing documentation:
MLA
Style – Modern Languages Association style - literature,
arts, and humanities.
APA Style – American Psychological Association style - psychology, education, and other social sciences
Chicago Style – The Chicago Manual of Style - used with all subjects in the "real world" by books, magazines, newspapers, and other non-scholarly publication
How to assemble
list of works cited in your paper
EndNote
Our patrons have a possibility to use EndNote (bibliographic software) with ISI Web of Knowledge database. EndNote is the most popular way for faculty and students to organize references, and create bibliographies instantly. In order to create and access your EndNote Web Library, you must sign in or register.
The subscription is sponsored by the Bulgarian Ministry of Education & Science.
NoodleBib - Online tool for MLA Bibliographic Format
Generate, edit, and publish an MLA
works cited list that complies with the rules of
the current MLA Handbook. MLA starter gives the student clear, color-coded
examples of how to cite the sources they are most likely to encounter (printed and
online books, reference sources, magazines, newspapers, etc.). It takes care of
punctuation, alphabetization and formatting, producing a polished source list for
import into Word.
The AUBG library offers you information about handbooks, which give you extensive advice on how to avoid plagiarism and maintain the academic integrity.
