What’s the big deal?
It’s out there, why not reuse it?

Gabriel, T. (2010, August 1) Plagiarism Lines Blur for Students in the Digital Age. The New York Times. Retrieved from http://www.nytimes.com/2010/08/02/education/02cheat.html
“If you are not so worried about presenting yourself as absolutely unique, then
it’s O.K.
…if you say other people’s words, it’s O.K. if you say things you don’t believe,
…it’s O.K. if you write papers you couldn’t care less about because they
accomplish the task, which is turning something in and getting a grade
… and it’s O.K. if you put words out there without getting any credit.”
~Susan D. Blum anthropologist at The University of Notre Dame, author of “My
Word!: Plagiarism and College Culture” on student attitudes toward plagiarism
It’s out there, why not reuse it?
What does intellectual property mean to
you? Is it an important idea, why or why
not?
With so much information out there, is
there such a thing as an original idea?
Does that mean you have to credit every
single person?
How does plagiarism affect academia?
Why does it matter?
Johnson, S. (2010) Where good ideas come from. TED: Ideas worth spreading.
http://www.ted.com/talks/steven_johnson_where_good_ideas_come_from.html
“We take ideas from other people, from people we've
learned from, from people we run into in the coffee shop, and
we stitch them together into new forms and we create
something new. That's really where innovation happens.
Why does it matter?
How is this video connected to the library
session on learning how to research? Is it
connected to plagiarism? Why or why not?
If ideas come from multiple people working
together and building off of each other, when
you try to give credit, who do you give it to?
How can you stay
connected/current/organized while doing
your research?
Common Knowledge
Quandary
“I’ve heard that common knowledge doesn’t have to be cited. What is common knowledge?”
Some examples: Waste not, want not.
George Washington was the first president of the US
College students like pizza…
When in doubt, cite it.
The point is… No matter where you are, you will constantly
need to assess the information around you
In order to be an informed consumer you should know how to evaluate the information you acquire
In order to support your own arguments you should know how to research your question and cite your sources
Policy for Academic Integrity:

Example A Original:
Don't look for one of these tech heavyweights to knock out the other. Yet if history is any guide, Google's approach may win out over the long term. Recall that in the early 1980s Apple lost its lead in the PC market when Microsoft enlisted the aid of hordes of software developers and dozens of PC manufacturers. Now, if Google can marshal such a united front, Apple could again be swamped by the collective innovations.

Student:
History tells us that Google's approach may be successful over the long term. In the early 1980s Apple lagged in the PC market as Microsoft collaborated with software developers and dozens of PC manufacturers. Now, if Google would only summon a united front, Apple could again be swamped by the collective innovations (Burrows, 2009).

Student:
Google stands a chance of beating Apple if it can benefit from the pooled ideas of software developers and device manufacturers, following the strategy that Microsoft employed to Apple’s detriment in the early ‘80s.

Burrows suggests that in the battle of the “tech heavyweights” Google might eventually prevail over Apple if it follows the strategy that Microsoft employed to Apple’s detriment during the early ‘80s: collaborating, and innovating, with software developers and manufacturers (2009, p. 25).
