Interesting site with lots of good links. The best portion may be “Part 2: A Syllabus Strategy for Talking About Plagiarism With Students” where you can contrast this professor’s before/after syllabus anti-plagiarism statements.

Great article, even though it dates from 1998, that points out how to teach students electronic source management skills for academic research in an electronic age.  “The New Plagiarism: 7 Antidotes to Prevent Highway Robbery in an Electronic Age,” by Jamie McKenzie.

Research Resources from TurnItIn. Note especially the link to printable handouts instructors can use with their students. See if any of these address issues in your course in a way that is compatible with your definitions and goals.
