"This book contains excellent practical advice for the experienced teacher and the neophyte alike. Material about using web tools in the detection process provides its major contribution, but is contextualized within the larger questions of academic honesty, community membership, and institutional policy." --American Association for Higher Education Bulletin "All in all, Harris offers in this book a good starting place for developing your own wise response to plagiarism, giving you the tools you need to be proactive rather than reactive. . . . [T]he book emphasizes the role of good teaching and classroom planning, doesn't assume students are criminals, and offers a range of resources teachers can use to be better prepared. --Nick Carbone, TechNotes, Bedford/St. Martin's "All college (and high school) teachers should have a copy of The Plagiarism Handbook. . . . Certain sections are perfect for use in class, including the questionnaires, the exercises on paraphrasing and quoting, and the excellent and varied definitions of plagiarism. . . . Harris' practical, easy-to-read and well-organized handbook comes at the perfect time. . . . Even though most seasoned English teachers know the rudiments of plagiarism, Harris' book is valuable. . . . For new teachers or teachers in other disciplines who are not so comfortable assigning and grading research papers, this volume should, unfortunately, be indispensable." --Community College Week " . . . an indispensable, invaluable, 'user friendly' manual and guide for educators and students alike. To put it simply, The Plagiarism Handbook should be placed upon the shelves of every high school, college, university and community library in the country." --Midwest Book Review "An intriguing study." --Wisconsin Bookwatch “This is the first of its kind. Finally, a book that describes the many ways our students can plagiarize an assignment, shows us how to detect it, and advises us on what to do about it. Also, the many suggestions for classroom activities can help us teach students not to plagiarize.” – Jose Galvan, Associate Dean, California State University, Los Angeles “The Plagiarism Handbook is an excellent sourcebook for teachers, faculty, librarians and academic support staff. The appendix sections provide valuable resources for both the novice and veteran Web researcher. The author covers the issues thoroughly with effective examples and useful exercises. The most important thing you can say about this book is that it is a must-read for all educators at the high school and college level. Students cheat because they can get away with it. An informed faculty is the first step in preventing plagiarism. This is a book that will, unfortunately, be referred to time and again.” – Margaret Fain, Assistant Head, Kimbel Library, Coastal Carolina University "Great resource. It's the best 20 bucks I have ever spent." -H. Camille Napier, English Teacher, Natick High School "This book should be available to every teacher and librarian who believes that plagiarism is a serious problem." -School Library Journal, December 2001
