Abstract
At Penn State Altoona, undergraduate students consistently miss the mark with MLA in-text citations, Works Cited page citations, and articulating an understanding of the purpose of citing. A likely underlying cause is the impact of the decline of public school librarians over the last two decades. Current post-high school approaches to help remediate this issue, including collaborations between a librarian and a general education history instructor at Penn State Altoona, are explored. Their informal project to incorporate online academic integrity training modules in the Canvas learning management system is outlined with next-step measures.

The idea to develop an informal project that incorporates online academic integrity training modules in the Canvas learning management system was born from a conversation between an academic librarian and a history instructor of general education courses at Penn State Altoona. Their post-high school students were consistently missing the mark with MLA in-text citations, full citations on the Works Cited page, and being able to articulate a clear understanding of the purpose of citing
The training included an assessment and offered an Academic Integrity Certificate of Completion (AICC) with a successful score of 80% or higher
