About this title

Synopsis

Designed to be of use to all levels of educators working with students--from high school to post-graduate--this book addresses the problems and concerns facing librarians and educators involved in the process of teaching academic honesty. Many of the original authors from The Plagiarism Plague have returned with new essays along with new voices, a majority of whom represent the next generation of librarianship, the Web 2.0 professional.

Stop Plagiarism contains background material, web resources, a collection of sample exercises, and an interactive CD that provides tools an educator can use to stop plagiarism. One of three videos on the CD features an animated interactive quiz that helps student understand when they must include a citation. The authors have also established an anti-plagiarism wiki where readers are encouraged to participate in the on-going conversation on plagiarism. This book is a one-stop source for anyone who wants to understand why students knowingly or unknowingly plagiarize, who needs materials for teaching academic integrity, and who will benefit from a current resource guide to tools for actively detecting plagiarism.

Reviews

A sequel to The Plagiarism Plague (Neal-Schuman, 2004), this collection of 14 essays focuses on �honesty�: how to teach, model, and promote it. The chapters in part 1 discuss various aspects of the problem, such as paper mills. The chapters in part 2 center on remedies, for example, creating a tutorial on how to avoid plagiarism or focusing on outreach to first-year college students. The resources in part 3, �A Practitioner�s Toolkit,� include a look at the legal landscape, recommendations from professional organizations regarding intellectual honesty, a list of web-based citation guides, an annotated bibliography, and more. The book comes with a CD with live links to the websites that are discussed as well as to the plagiarism tutorials developed by the reference department of the Paul Robeson Library at Rutgers. Updates can be found at stopplagiarism.wikispaces.com. An excellent addition to the professional shelf on this topic. --Esther Sinofsky
