The University Libraries are pleased to launch the first of a series of Web-based modules focusing on academic integrity issues.
Our initial module, Plagiarism Resources, identifies resources that can be used to explain, discuss, avoid, detect and educate others about plagiarism. Concrete exercises, strategies, case studies, videos, and tutorials provide SLU faculty and students alike with constructive and, in some cases, very creative, resources that can help frame discussions of plagiarism. A proactive approach to academic integrity helps foster a positive learning environment that supports the teaching and learning endeavors of SLU faculty and students. Engaging students about plagiarism issues may be the most effective strategy we can use to prevent it.
Please contact your liaison librarian or the reference desk (314) 977-3103 for questions regarding the plagiarism module.
