Turnitin is a program utilizing databases of published works and the Internet to determine if any similarities exist between a paper submitted electronically by a pro- fessor and the billions of docu- ments archived by iParadigms, the company behind Turnitin.

How it works According to Turnitin’s Web site, every paper submitted for plagia- rism-prevention is returned in the form of a customized, color-coded “Originality Report,” which gives the details of any similarities found. Turnitin’s creator, John Berry, said each electronically submitted paper undergoes a search of three database systems. The first search is of a copy of the Internet iParadigms updates 24 hours a day. Currently the copy is comprised of 4.34 billion pages and is continually updated with auto- mated web crawler servers at a rate of 40 million pages a day. Berry said, a 45 megabyte per sec- ond T1 connection and 13 racks of server computers for storage are required to maintain this copy of the Internet. The web crawlers work by start- ing with about 50,000 “seed” pages. They download each of these pages and then follow every link on each page, download the resulting pages, follow the new links and so on, Berry said. The second search is of a data- DAILY EASTERN NEWS PHOTO BY STEPHEN HAAS base of academic journals called Proquest, which Berry said was Flocking to ‘Christ’ the largest and most comprehen- A Kerasotes Theatres employee counts out 309 tickets for “The Passion of the Christ” Wednesday afternoon for Matt and Mike Southards of First sive database of its kind and con- Christian Church in Charleston at the Showplace 8 Theatre in Mattoon.

Thursday, February 26, 2004 THE DAILY EASTERN NEWS 3 Student Senate downs diversity bylaw change

By Brian O’Malley STUDENT GOVERNMENT EDITOR

The bylaw change requiring Student Senate mem- bers to participate in, rather than just attend, a diverse event failed 7-19-1 Wednesday. The current diversity bylaw only requires senate members to attend a diverse event. Sean Anderson, chair for the Diversity Affairs Committee and co-author of the bylaw change, said he was unhappy with the outcome of the vote. “It’s disappointing,” Anderson said. “I think you all underestimate me and my committee.” After some discussion, Anderson said he wanted the bylaw change to be tabled for one more week so he could make proper changes to meet the majority of members’ satisfaction.
