Please can I make a correction to my last posting...the correct web adddress
for the agency publishing new guides for secondary schools on plagiarism is
www.plagiarismadvice.org
The one I gave you earlier actually belongs to the US developers of
Turnitin, a text matching software used by various academic bodies to check
for plagiarism in texts.
There is to be the 4th International Plagiarism Conference to be held at
Northumbria University, 21-23 June 2010. The organisers are asking for
papers to be submitted by 29 January 2010 if anyone is interested. Although
most delegates will be from tertiary level, the organisers have assured me
that they are very interested in hearing from secondary level practitioners
who would either like to present a paper or attend. See
www.plagiarismconference.org
