Preventing Plagiarism with Turnitin

This service provides an easy to use method for instructors to check the content of papers for plagiarized material. To learn more about using Turnitin for your assignments in Canvas, please view the Turnitin for Canvas Assignments page.
For additional information on TurnitIn and to view video demonstrations of how to use the tool within Canvas, please view the Turnitin resource provided by IT@JH.

Accessing JHU Libraries Remotely
There are two ways to access the JHU libraries remotely:
- At my.jhu.edu, login with your JHED ID and password. Click on the Library tab. Campus libraries and e-reserves can be accessed from this page.
- Access the online library resource of The Sheridan Libraries. The proxy checks whether your computer is on or off campus; if you are on campus you won’t notice anything. If you are off campus you will see the JHED login screen. Make sure your browser is set to enable cookies. Enter your JHED ID and password to access your resource. If you need help with browser settings, please e-mail the IT@JH help desk.
