MLC 2018

At Assiniboine Community College (ACC) in Brandon, members of the Library, Learning Commons, and Assiniboine International have collaborated on a dynamic, bottom-up academic integrity initiative. Initially focused on proactive ways to limit plagiarism among incoming international students, it has evolved in breadth and depth to also address the larger issue of academic integrity at an institutional level. In examining ACC's continuing odyssey, participants will compare and contrast their own efforts, and discuss related existing research. Participants will gain tools and approaches to answer the following crucial questions: how can we reduce plagiarism among international and domestic students? In what ways can we successfully promote academic integrity in our individual roles? Why and how should libraries play a role in academic integrity? How can we coordinate our individual efforts to cultivate or create a culture of academic integrity?
