LEARNING RESOURCES
Mainstream media is one way to access news, but if you want background stories and a view from progressive writers, read reports from the alternative media.
In simple language Knowledge Management (KM) is an effort to capture not only explicit factual information but also the tacit information and knowledge that exists in an organization, usually based on the experience and learning of individual employees, in order to advance the organization's mission. The eventual goal is to share knowledge among members of the organization. Click here for a list of selected Knowledge Management resources.

Plagiarism
Lack of sleep, lack of time, and the availability of the Internet have created many temptations to use others' work and pass it off as one's own. However, taking the hard work of others and using it as one's own is not fair to other students in the class who work hard and are honest. It shows disrespect for colleagues, and, in fact, can be considered stealing another's intellectual property. For more information on the University's policy on academic integrity and for explanations of what is and what is not plagiarism, investigate by clicking on plagiarism.
Intellectual honesty requires that we acknowledge the work, ideas, and direct words of original authors. Three of the standards for citing authors in footnotes or bibliographies are the American Psychological Associations style guide, the Style Manual written by Kate Turabian, and the Modern Language Association's Handbook. Do be consistent and use the same style throughout your writing so that you will become more familiar with its conventions. Here are some online helps or shortcuts to those guides. The links bring you to sites that have condensed the style guides to give you an easy to use shortened version. Please note that there are also some links to sites that help with citing electronic information. For a complete treatment of sources, citations, and bibliographies, consider investing in one of the books that provide background information as well as examples.
