About this webinar
As researchers, family historians, compilers, bloggers, or writers of other ilk, genealogists face legal and ethical perils they often do not anticipate. This crash course offers practical guidance to enhance your skills and keep you safe as you explore history, reconstruct lives, and “write up” your findings. While the issues are serious—from the legal issue of copyright to the ethical issue of plagiarism—the lessons are taught with a light heart and humor.

Thank you for this wonderful resource.
Thank you for the informative webinar. The link to your first reference is incorrect (Mills, Elizabeth Shown. “QuickLesson 15: PlagiarismFive ‘Copywrongs’ of Historical Writing.” Evidence Explained: Historical Analysis, Citation & Source Usage. https://www.evidenceexplained.com/content /quicklesson-15-plagiarism—five copywrongs-historical -writing : posted 6 January 2013.). The correct link is https://www.evidenceexplained.com/content/quicklesson-15-plagiarism%E2%80%94five-copywrongs-historical-writing. Thank you.
Gena, the citation in the syllabus is this: Mills, Elizabeth Shown. “QuickLesson 15: Plagiarism—\nFive ‘Copywrongs’ of Historical Writing.” [italics] Evidence Explained: Historical Analysis, Citation & Source Usage [italics]. https://www.evidenceexplained.com/content/quicklesson-15-plagiarism—five copywrongs-historical-writing : posted 6 January 2013. It worked for me just now when I copy-pasted it into the Firefox browser.
Many good points that make you pause to rethink!
Another excellent webinar. The content was very full perhaps requiring another viewing. It's an important topic that leads to a number of questions for many individual and unique situations.
I always learn something new during Elizabeth's presentations. She is the best!
ESM covered many points that I’ve never heard of prior to this presentation. We’ve all heard of plagiarism. Now I can say that I have a greater understanding of what it looks like and how to avoid it.
This is one of those webinars that I will reference many times before attempting to write an article for publication!
Startling to learn some of these examples. In future I will be less cavalier even in quotes and even obtaining permission to use material. Such food for thought at 2:00 am!
