Abstract

This study aims to identify the available services in academic libraries that reduce plagiarism and to learn about the academic databases and tools for the identification of Plagiarism. It also aims to study and analyze the policies and procedures followed by the academic libraries to reduce plagiarism using some of these tools. The study was based on the descriptive-analytical approach and deliberate sample of academic library websites in the Arab world and Semi-structured interviews with users (students/librarians/faculty members and researchers) to identify how academic libraries detect plagiarism. The study reached a set of conclusions, the most important of which is that the activation of the information awareness program in academic libraries through training courses and workshops on intellectual property rights and reasonable use will help in reducing plagiarism. Also, providing plagiarism detection software and citation tools will support the preservation of copyrights and intellectual property.
