Abstract
  • Instruction librarians are often expected to promote academic integrity. However, the content and implementation of institutional academic integrity policies may vary greatly from one university to another. This study employed a mixed methods approach, combining content analysis of policies and a survey of librarians involved with instruction. The policies analyzed and the librarians surveyed were from UNC and its fifteen peer institutions. The results of the document analysis identified at least three distinct types of policies defined by their length, use of legal language, and overall purpose. The survey results suggest that although academic librarians understand and are cognizant of their universities' academic integrity policies, they are not strongly influenced by these documents. This study contributes to the existing literature on academic integrity policies while also beginning to bridge the gap between that body of literature and our understanding of the roles played by librarians in supporting academic integrity.
