Anyone who uses information that is not his or her own needs to cite the source. If not, then it is plagiarism. We need to cite the sources because it gives the persons credit for the work they did. That is really the professional and respectful thing to do. It also shows that you can back up information with the facts you provided, courtesy of others. And if anyone wanted to look at the original source for more information, you have already provided it for them so they don't have to go searching for it.
Plus, would you want someone taking credit for the work you did? I know I wouldn’t!
