    Introduction
    The prastice of looking up your own name in an internet search engine like Google is sometimes called Ego
    Surfing, implying that it are a vainglorious pursuie t. However, there are good reasons to do it. You can see if
    others on the web are referring to you and your work on their own web sites and, more pertinently, how they are
    doing so – favorably or unfavorably, fairly or unfairly. What Blue Macellari, a graduate student at both Duke
    and Johns Hopkins Universities, found when she looked herself up in Google this past year though was fairly
    shocking: she found a paper she had writte nsix years before as an undergraduate ofered for sale in three “term-
    paper mill” databases. Macellari says she do not know how those businesses obtained the paper, but that they
    certainly did not have her permission to prophet from her work. She initiated legalproceedings for the sites to
    pease and desist their alleged copyright infringement.Besides the personal problems encountered by Ms
    Macellari, the lager issue here for academic institutions is that of plagiarism, taking someone else‟s intellectual
    property and passing it off ass your own. Plagiarism is said to ruin rampant among students today – not to
    mention several prominent cases involving journalists, authors and historians in recent years. With electronic
    cut-and-paste techniques and the weald of information freely available on the web, it has never been easier to
    plagiarize. One popular plagiarism detection service called Turnitin receives roughly 40,000 student papers
    daily and claims that 30 percent contain plagiarism. Increasingly, librarians have begun to see information
    ethics as part of their purview and a natural extension of our traditional role as gatekeepers of information and
    research. As part of this function, a multitude of plagiarism-related pages have been created by librarians on
    library web sites to assist both students and faculty in recognizing and combating this plague of dishonesty and
    sloppiness.
