Appropriate referencing techniques for digital publications 11 ATAR 12 GEN
When you write a task, it must be your own work with acknowledgement of all sources.
If you acknowledge all sources often, you are working at an A or B level.
If you copy sentences from the internet as your own, you are working at a D or E level.
You should always credit where you get your information from.
The way to do this is in a bibliography at the end of the task
Or during the writing of the task with in text referencing
Acknowledge = recognise the importance of
Bibliography = A list of books or web references you looked at for the task.
Reference list = A list of the books or web references you actually used in your task. (in-text)
Cite. Means referred to.
Credit. Means to give the name or author.
Refer. Means looked at, hence reference or refer to.
Your bibliography should appear on a separate page at the end of your assignment. List your sources in alphabetical order as in the example below.

A. REF: http://www.ag.gov.au/RightsAndProtections/Documents/ShortGuidetoCopyright-October2012.pdf
A. What is intellectual property? Copyright is part of an area of law known as intellectual property. Intellectual property law protects the property rights in creative and inventive endeavours and gives creators and inventors certain exclusive economic rights, generally for a limited time, to deal with their creative works or inventions. This legal protection is designed as a reward to creators to encourage further intellectual creativity and innovation, as well as enabling access by the community to the products of intellectual property. Because intellectual property protects rights, rather than physical property, intellectual property is an intangible form of property. It is property which cannot be seen or touched. Intellectual property is the general name given to the laws covering patents, trade marks, designs, circuit layouts, plant breeder's rights and copyright. Each of these forms of intellectual property is protected by a specific Act of the Commonwealth Parliament. The framework for these Acts is largely based on Australia's obligations under international treaties.

Copyright protection is free and automatic in Australia and protects the original expression of ideas, and not the ideas themselves.
Common works protected by copyright are:
books
films
music
sound recordings
newspapers
magazines
artwork
Copyright also protects originally created:
typographical arrangements
databases
media broadcasts
computer programs
compositions of other people's work such as academic journals or CD compilations
Australian copyright is administered by the Attorney-General's Department.
How it works
The moment an idea or creative concept is documented, on paper or electronically, it is automatically protected by copyright. Because it is automatic in Australia, there is no official registry or application process for copyright protection.
Copyright protection is provided under the Copyright Act 1968 and gives you exclusive rights to license others in regard to copying your work, performing it in public, broadcasting it, publishing it and making an adaptation of the work. Rights vary according to the nature of the work. Those for artistic works, for instance, are different from those for literary and musical works.
Copyright doesn't protect you against independent creation of a similar work. Legal actions against infringement are at times complicated by the fact that a number of different copyrights may exist in some works - particularly films, broadcasts and multimedia products.
Copyright laws differ from country to country, however Australia is party to a number of treaties that increase the copyright protection of international works.
The Australian Copyright Council provides more information on copyright, including international considerations.
