Guest Posted November 4, 2007 Share Posted November 4, 2007 Can anybody help me, i have a quote in my assignment but i haven't put where i got it from, i'm sure i got it from learning through play by tina bruce, i have tried the library at college and my local and they are all out on loan, Does anybody know if there is a website where you can access the text.

AnonyMouse_73 Posted November 4, 2007 Share Posted November 4, 2007 Could you share the quote with us and maybe one of us will recognise it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted November 4, 2007 Share Posted November 4, 2007 can you not type it into google and see what happens? I have done this before and most of the time, you get linked to the scholar site on google. HTH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AnonyMouse_8466 Posted November 5, 2007 Share Posted November 5, 2007 Go into Google Books search and type in the whole quote - it will find the book for you! You can display the page, write down the quote in its entirety and then check out the copyright details for your bibliography! Maz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted November 5, 2007 Share Posted November 5, 2007 HappyMaz and Beau, you are amazing, I had no idea you could do that, I'll have to remember that when I do my next assignment. Sal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnonyMouse_8466 Posted November 5, 2007 Share Posted November 5, 2007 Like this? Exactly like that Beau - it saves a fortune on buying books you only ever open to get a good quote out of... But I'm sure I'm the only one who is so lazy! Maz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnonyMouse_8466 Posted November 5, 2007 Share Posted November 5, 2007 HappyMaz and Beau, you are amazing, I had no idea you could do that, I'll have to remember that when I do my next assignment.Sal Its also really good for looking in books before you order them from Amazon when they don't have 'search inside' available! Happy quote hunting... Maz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted November 6, 2007 Share Posted November 6, 2007 not that you do but be warned about using a quote within the body of your work not as a quote but as your work tutors can too google a quote and they check for plagiarism this way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnonyMouse_8466 Posted November 6, 2007 Share Posted November 6, 2007 not that you do but be warned about using a quote within the body of your work not as a quote but as your work tutors can too google a quote and they check for plagiarism this way Absolutely - and often tutors can recognise quotes anyway because they see them so often. I remember marking an assignment once thinking that it looked very familiar. I did the google search and found nothing. Then I realised she'd included the text of one of my own handouts almost word for word! Very flattering that learners hang on your every word, but probably not wise to take it that far Maz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
