Increased incidences of plagiarism have become an issue of concern
on most college campuses today. Though academic dishonesty is
not a new problem, it is acknowledged that access to online databases,
electronic journals, and the Internet has made copying another
person's original work without attribution easier and more tempting.
Recognizing that plagiarism and other forms of academic dishonesty
devalue honest work, and ultimately the college degree itself,
the University Libraries has identified a variety of informative
websites to help students, faculty, and staff better understand
the concept of plagiarism: what is, what can be done, how to avoid
it, and more. An organized list of links is provided below.

"The University expects that all academic work will provide
an honest reflection of the knowledge and abilities of both students
and faculty. Cheating, plagiarism fabrication of data, providing
unauthorized help, and other acts of academic dishonesty are abhorrent
to the purposes for which the University exists" (Hilltopics:
Students Handbook, 2004 -2005, p. 41).
