Be responsible!

What is plagiarism? What is meant by "common knowledge"? What is the difference between collaboration and cheating? What is academic honesty?

Many academic dishonesty cases arise from writers neglecting to cite sources.  However, there are many other forms of academic dishonesty.  It’s your responsibility to know what is meant by "Academic Integrity" on campus. A great place to start would be the University's rules, regulations, and guidelines for academic integrity.

From a knowledge of the rules, doing your own work, citing carefully, and asking questions when you're not sure, it becomes easy to prevent costly misunderstandings, embarrassment, grade reductions, hearings, or worse.

With changes to copyright policy, it is becoming more important that instructors know how to use links to resources licensed by the library.  It is important to learn how to link properly, particularly for students who use your links from off campus.  Many publishers will look at the IP address of a user and only show the link to the paper if the person is accessing the resource from *on* campus.  The following instructions show how to create proper links to be given to students to make sure that these links work both from on campus and from home.
