Plagiarism: workshop + reports on conference

1) A Plagiarism workshop: what is plagiarism and how can librarians help students avoid it? is led by Judy Reading, User Education Co-Ordinator, Oxford University Library Services for the Education Librarians Group (CILIP). It takes place on 11 September 2008 at the University of Cambridge, UK, book by emailing Libby Tilley eat21@cam.ac.uk

2) The 3rd International Plagiarism conference took place in June 2008. The conference website is at: http://www.plagiarismconference.co.uk/index.php - they say they will put up the proceedings but they aren't there yet. In the meantime there is a very useful conference report in the Plagiarism Today blog at http://www.plagiarismtoday.com/2008/06/30/

. There is another from Debora Weber-Wulff, here (both bloggers note the shift in emphasis from punishment/detection to plagiarism prevention), and she also runs a plagiarism portal in German, Portal Plagiat, at http://plagiat.fhtw-berlin.de/ Lastly, what Gerry McKiernan terms the "Director's cut" of his keynote at the conference is at http://scholarship20.blogspot.com/2008/04/
