Access Services (Circulation, Interlibrary Loan):
The Library provides a subscription to an anti-plagiarism
service called Turnitin. With this service, you will be able
to submit students' papers and have them compared against
several different resources. The system will then issue originality
reports indicating the likelihood of plagiarism.
To use the system you will first need to establish an account.
To do so, follow these steps:
1. Go to http://www.turnitin.com and under “New instructors start here” click on "create a user profile".
2. On the following page, click "instructor".
3. On the next page, enter the account ID number and join password (contact Lew Conerly, 3340 or Bruce Kocour, 3336, if you do not have this information)
4. Fill in the rest of the requested information and click “I agree” to create your account. When creating your Turnitin password, note that you must use at least one digit and one letter.
5. Proceed through the remainder of the profile creation process.
6. Use the "wizard" to create a class. Note that the class name is one of your choosing. Also, be sure to record the class ID number and whatever class enrollment password you create. If you are having your students submit their papers through Turnitin, they will need both of those pieces of information.
First-time users will find the training videos and quick-start guides useful. Both are accessible from the Turnitin Training Resources page at http://www.turnitin.com/static/training.html.
Below are links to some very useful guides to understanding copyright and fair use. They are particularly helpful in their coverage of reserves and other course related uses of traditional, multimedia, and electronic resources.
