Coping with Ethical Issues
(Alphabetically by title)
Exploring the Librarian's Role in Promoting Academic Integrity on Campus
Presenters: Candice Benjes-Small, Eric Ackermann, Kevin Tapp
ACRL Information Literacy Competency Standards outcomes include students identifying issues related to intellectual property and copyright, and using a citation style accurately to document sources. But is teaching these outcomes the responsibility of professors or instruction librarians?
At Radford University, the librarians recognized that students were struggling with academic integrity issues, including plagiarism, paraphrasing, and citing sources properly. The librarians quickly developed programs to fill in gaps on campus. They hold brown bag lunches for faculty and student workshops on topics such as plagiarism, reading citations, and formatting references according to APA Style. Recently, they were asked to teach EndNote. Even within the library instruction team there was disagreement as to whether this was their purview. Where should they draw the line? Should they concentrate their efforts on library research, focusing on how to use a myriad of databases and how to evaluate sources? In the absence of infinite staff and resources they cannot accomplish all of the projects that seem interesting. And yet they ponder the question: If we do not evolve and give students and professors what they seem to require to complete their research, are we failing them?
The presenters will address these concerns and involve the audience in a discussion about the librarian’s role in promoting academic integrity on campus. Learning outcomes for participants will include identifying academic integrity issues; understanding the challenges of teaching plagiarism topics; and learning how colleagues at other institutions are handling similar situations.
A Tutorial With a Twist: How Plagiarism Advances Library Instruction
Presenters: Sandra Hussey, Mark Jacobs
Plagiarism and other academic integrity violations might be viewed as yet another issue of concern to the whole university, but the responsibility of no one department or unit. For Georgetown University librarians it proved to be an opportunity to combine forces with others on campus to reach students in a new way. The presenters will report on a collaborative, campus-wide effort to introduce key academic integrity issues by teaching all new students library research skills, and acquainting them with other relevant academic support services. The librarians faced several challenges in creating the tutorial including presenting complex ethical issues clearly, limiting the scope of the tutorial (e.g., should file sharing be discussed?), integrating it with other University information systems, and ensuring student compliance with the requirement. Their online tutorial, Joining the Conversation: Scholarly Research and Academic Integrity, reaches 1700 new students each year. LOEX participants will learn how the librarians developed their program, the results of three years’ use, and the advantages and disadvantages of the online tutorial for this application.
Using Scenarios to Teach Undergraduates About Copyright, Fair Use, & Plagiarism
Presenters: Susan Ariew, Heather Runyan
The millennial generation is immersed in an Internet culture that embraces and endorses illegal downloading and file sharing. Staff writer Ron Barnett, from the Greensboro News, reports that one billion copyrighted songs are downloaded each month in violation of copyright. Because it is more likely that you will get hit by a bus than be sued by a record or video company, young people engage in these illegal activities daily.
How, then, are we to teach them about academic integrity and information ethics when the culture tells them that if you do not get caught it is okay to do what you want?
Presenters will outline the unit of their course covering information ethics and present scenarios that they use to generate meaningful discussions with students about copyright fair use, and plagiarism. Scenarios offer a way to present the major ethical/legal concepts in the course, while allowing students to move from understanding to application of the ethical principals in their own lives.
This session applies to the conference theme on several levels. Ethical issues in the academy are constantly changing, as institutions struggle to cope with rising rates of student plagiarism. Moreover, students themselves, their culture, and how they interact with information are "moving targets" that instructors need to understand in order to have meaningful discussions about ethics. This presentation demonstrates how active learning strategies and scenarios can give instructors insight into how students interact with information, as well as teach students about its ethical and legal uses.
