Issues of plagiarism and ethical values in relation to digitally
published material are high on the agenda in all schools. Teacher-librarians
are well placed to help students and teachers engage with these
vital copyright issues.
This very practical session investigates strategies and solutions
for:
- raising teachers' awareness
of the importance of developing their students' ethical
values when using the internet for research.
- teaching students to develop good habits when
making notes from the internet.

All Australian schools are working towards
The National Goals for Schooling in the Twenty-First Century
agreed to by the State education ministers in Adelaide in 1999.
Goal 1.3 states that when students leave schools they should:
| have the capacity to exercise judgment and responsibility
in matters of morality, ethics and social justice, . .
. and to accept responsibility for their own actions.
|
|
Teachers have an ideal opportunity to develop
this capacity when students undertake research using other people's
work and create intellectual property of their own based on
this research.
