Don’t let the integrity of your work be questioned: Academic integrity and the library.

Abstract

As a librarian, part of my job is to teach students the importance of careful research,accurate reporting and appropriate citation of sources. Students need strong and honest information-seeking skills to succeed. •Yeshiva University’s academic integrity policy provides a foundation for these objectives, but the library’s goal is more robust: we want our students to become successful and productive citizens, employees and leaders in society. An important starting point is teaching students to approach their research with rigor and integrity, enabling them to construct convincing and well-supported arguments. (from Introduction)
