Stephen,
Turnitin.com approached our provost's office last summer about an institutional
subscription.  Since my librarian colleagues and I do related workshops and
often are asked by course instructors to help substantiate suspected plagiarism,
the university librarian asked me to review the product so she could make a
recommendation to the provost regarding an institutional subscription.
