On April 30^th 2008, Western Libraries held a forum for faculty and staff on preventing student plagiarism. Three faculty members, James Inverarity, Mary Janell Metzger, and David Wallin discussed causes of, and methods of preventing, plagiarism, which are useful to faculty who teach writing courses. Katie Liebenstein provided a student perspective on the problem. Additional forum & faculty biographical information
