In an earlier issue of this journal, Stephen Marson and Jerry Finn discussed the issue of cheating. Their examples did not focus on plagiarism, although attempted plagiarism was a part of one example. Plagiarism is only part of the cheating problem, but it is probably the easiest problem to address.

When one pretends that another's work is one's own we call it plagiarism. Other types of intellectual property violations include copyright infringement and abuse of the Fair Use Rule. This article raises some key questions that can be used when considering both legal and ethical standards surrounding the use of another writer's work. |

Preventing plagiarism is congruent with the social work view that prevention of a problem is a better option than intervention. Social work educators can learn a great deal from librarians since librarians often present much of the education for prevention of plagiarism as part of instruction on how to use the library and the Internet to best advantage. Collaboration between library professionals and social work educators is a logical collaboration and models interdisciplinary cooperation for social work students, as well as presenting a strong model for teaching about the prevention of plagiarism. Linking instruction about prevention of plagiarism to the Code of Ethics makes this material more relevant to social work students.
