Mission
In order to respond to the heightened incidence of academic dishonesty, particularly plagiarism, on campus, the University Libraries have launched an Academic Integrity Initiative. In collaboration with campus partners, the Libraries work to raise awareness of academic integrity issues and provide information to students and educators on how to use research resources in a responsible and ethical manner.Academic Integrity Committee
The Academic Integrity Committee coordinates the Academic Integrity Initiative, as well as the Libraries informational and instructional response to the issues of plagiarism and academic integrity. The Committee works to foster a leadership role for the Libraries in collecting and disseminating information about the issues and about campus activities concerning plagiarism and academic integrity. Note: This group is a subcommittee of the Information Literacy Team.
