Last fall, the Vice Chancellor and Provost’s Committee on Academic Integrity (VPCAI) conducted a survey regarding academic dishonesty on campus. The committee collected survey data from current graduate and undergraduate students, TAs and faculty at Syracuse University and SUNY ESF, and compared these data to those from other post-secondary institutions. The full report of forced-choice responses to the survey is available on reserve at E. S. Bird Library. Two copies are available for two-hour loan. Ask for the following call number at the first floor reserve desk: AAO 1.

Syracuse University students, faculty and staff can find additional research reports on the MySlice portal (myslice.syr.edu).

General information on the VPCAI and its work is on the web at: provost.syr.edu/integrity.asp

The Library has created a web page to describe the benefits and limitations of Google’s new search tool, Google Scholar. The page includes tips for using Google Scholar and for finding the full text of articles, books, and other resources at Syracuse University Library.

Currently in beta version, Google Scholar attempts to link to scholarly research materials (e.g., articles, papers, etc.) on the web. It may be useful for some researchers looking for a few articles on a topic but is quite limited in scope. Find out more at:
