There are several different sections of the Copyright Act which may be relevant to your situation -
You own the copyright to material you create as a student. This won't apply if you have been commissioned, or funded, by an external agent to create the work.
Under Fair Dealing provisions, you can copy an insubstantial part of a work. What is considered substantial depends on the material you are copying, e.g. you couldn't copy a small, but unique part of a poem. For more information about Fair Dealing, see the Copyright Council of New Zealand handout.
As a student you can use some media within certain circumstances; as an example, you can make a handwritten copy of a literary work for educational purposes. For more information about what you can copy for educational purposes, see the Copyright Council of New Zealand handout.Image courtesy of Stuart Miles at FreeDigitalPhotos.net
There are also provisions for photographers, visual artists, writers, songwriters and composers.
You must always acknowledge where you obtained the information from, e.g. by creating an APA reference.
APA Referencing at Wintec
All of Wintec uses APA Referencing, the referencing system developed and published by the American Psychological Association. Currently we use the 6th edition. This LibGuide contains the specificities of APA in common academic use, and covers Frequently Asked Questions as well as detailed coverage of both Nursing and Visual Media resources, and the accepted APA US state abbreviations.
Use the pages and subpages at left to navigate, or choose from the following guides:
APA Referencing - Nursing Resources
Basic Referencing
Referencing is not an easy and it can require quite a bit of your time to learn, but you must reference the resources you use in your assignments. To assist you, various Wintec staff (Library, Te Kete Konae, Student Learning Services) have produced these video clip and guides to help you in this process.
Below is a basic structure:
Reference list entries and in-text citations look different for different kinds of resources. A book reference is different from a journal article reference, and a webpage is different again - but they all have a lot of the same information in them. Have a look at these reference examples and see if it makes sense to you!
Remember, you can always look at the Wintec APA Referencing Guide or ask for help! You don't have to figure out referencing on your own.
1. In-text Citation: BOOKS
2. Reference list entry: BOOKS
APA References for journal articles, and webpages look different
And there are lots of other kinds of references too! Remember to check the Wintec APA Guide to get your reference format.

The people listed on the title page are not the authors of all the chapters; each chapter has separate authors listed. On page vii, the people named on the title page are listed as editors, so this is, in fact, an edited book with chapters by individual authors.
