Curriculum Support
Planning a research project for your class? We can customize access to appropriate library resources for your students by creating a Research Starter for your project, and are always happy to have you bring your class in to the library for instruction in how to best utilize the library in their work. Contact the librarian ([email protected]) to see how we can help and support you!

Academic Integrity
Turnitin is an originality checking and plagiarism prevention service that checks students' writing for citation mistakes or inappropriate copying. Contact the librarian and ask to be added to our subscription as an instructor. Then, use your Ranney Google credentials to log in (here are some login instructions). NEW FOR 21-22: Turnitin is now integrated with our MyRanney
system (as you create an assignment in MyRanney, enable the Turnitin option).
Encourage your students to use Turnitin's Draft Coach, which will check grammar, citations,
and similarity BEFORE they submit their papers. Find more information about using it on the
library website home page.
