Turnitin is plagiarism detection software that scans student work for matched text by comparing the work to a large database of student work, publications, and materials on the Internet. 

The Turnitin service is available through an interface built in to Cornell's Blackboard Learning Management System. For information about how to use Turnitin, please use the navigation menus on the left of this screen.
