Turnitin is a powerful online plagiarism prevention service that checks student papers against four targets:

- material on the Web

- the "archived" Web

- selected Library databases

- other student papers

Since implementing Turnitin in 2005, over 6,300 Millikin student papers have been submitted through the system. Check out the Turnitin FAQ web page for more information.

If you are an instructor and would like an account, contact Joe Hardenbrook, Educational Technology Coordinator/Librarian. He will also visit classes to demonstrate how to submit work through Turnitin.
