Overheard in the Library:

"My paper is mostly quotes."




That would make it... err... not so much your paper, perhaps, as some research you put on the same page?

Quoting is fine. Attributing is better.

And thinking and coming up with something original is what it's all about! (Unless it's a review of the research literature, which would not be happening in a community college library.)
