I just read an article that emphasized the different international perceptions of plagiarism. There are international societies that believe information is shared and therefore owned by the whole society. 85% of the "scholastic dishonesty" cases at the U of M were from non-native speakers of English! I think that being knowledgeable about this cultural issue can only help us as librarians to be more aware of the needs of our international students.

Great article. I'm actually struggling with this right now in terms of social media and what parameters need to be established.
I think it's only going to get crazier as students harness cheap technologies (e.g. blogging, video blogging, podcasting, etc.)
I can see these lines blurring even further.
Great post.
Cheers,
Mark.
