WILKES UNIVERSITY

3. All visual media, including graphs, tables, illustrations, raw data, audio and digital
material, are covered by the notion of intellectual property and, like print sources,
must be provided with a specific acknowledgment of the source.
4. Sources must be acknowledged using the systematic documentation method required
by the instructor for specific assignments and courses.
5. As a general rule, when in doubt, provide acknowledgment for all borrowed material.
Different disciplines use different documentation methods; therefore, students should
consult instructors about the correct use of the appropriate documentation style. Style
manuals detailing correct forms for acknowledging sources are available in the Farley
Library, at the Writing Center, and at the college bookstore. Additional resources and
guidance in the correct use of sources can be obtained at the Writing Center and from
individual instructors.

Technology facilitates creative, collaborative learning. It is a tool for seeking innovative
solutions, creating opportunities, and continually developing knowledge. To provide
these essential tools to Wilkes University students, Information Technology Services are
integrated into nearly every aspect of student life at the University. On-line courses and
blended learning environments are possible through Wilkes’ learning management
system, LIVE! – Learning is Virtually Everywhere.
More than 1,200 Apple Macintosh and Dell Windows computers are found on campus in
classrooms, computing labs, and residence halls. Most classrooms are technology
enhanced to enhance the learning experience. A wide variety of academic software is
installed on campus computers and is specially geared to specific academic departments
and disciplines. High speed, networked printers are placed strategically throughout
campus for student use, subject to the campus Green Print Printing Policy.
High-speed Internet access is available through wired connections and wireless access
across campus in academic buildings and residence halls. In most rooms in the
residence halls, there is one wired connection per student in each room as well as wi-fi
access throughout.
