As a student I am all too aware of the dangers of researching information on the web, especially for academic purposes. While this criticism of internet resources is not new, it seems the culture of immediacy and “anything goes” evident on some sites means strict evaluation of internet sources is continually necessary. But the terms of evaluation are themselves fluid and changing. Perhaps a systematic method of evaluation or certification of authority/authenticity could be introduced on some sites…I watch and wait.

I think that many of us, especially when quickly blogging, do sometimes unintentionally plagiarize, but after reading the article, and because of previous research I’ve done on the topic, I thought it would be a good reminder for us all. I think education is the key. Thanks, Janie (and also for your help with posting a photo)!

I observe the younger generation at work on papers in the tech center and see how they cut, paste, remix, and the change a word or two and they have no sense that they have plagiarized. I have no solutions, just wanted to pipe in with my somewhat obvious observations.
