Abstract

Information Literacy warrants acknowledging the documents cited for writing articles, research papers and assignments. Those who copy/use another person's ideas illegally are now known in the LIS circle as 'Plague Patients'. In order to be free from 'Plague' the academics can use any plagiarism detection tool available. This will help to avoid unintentional duplication of information as well. Plagiarism detection tools are useful to the academic community to detect plagiarism of others and avoid such unlawful activity. The present paper describes some of the plagiarism detection tools available for plagiarism checking.

Dineshan Koovakkai & Said Muhammed, P. (2010). Internet abuse among the adolescents: a study on the locale factor. Webology, 7 (1) Available at http://www.webology.org/2010/v7n1/a75.html.

Abstract

Adolescence is a stage of transition. Though the Internet is a useful source of information and channel for speedy communication, its abuse among the adolescents is of much concern. The rural and urban communities differ in many respects including the accessibility and use of the Internet. The present study focusses on the locale factor in the abuse of the Internet by the adolescents. The study is conducted on a sample of 150 adolescents in Kerala State in India using a structured questionnaire. The results show that as compared to the urban adolescents, the Internet abuse is more among the rural adolescents. This may be because of their ignorance about the seriousness of the matter.

Abstract

Women's magazines contain many useful pieces of information for household decision making. The present study is an attempt to explore the dependence of the employed women in Kerala on women's magazines for household decision making. The study is conducted on a sample of 137 employed women working in the government, semi-government and private sector establishments in Kerala. A structured questionnaire specially drafted for the purpose is used for collecting the data. The result reveals that the employed women in Kerala depend on various items of information in women's magazines for household decision making. The dependence, however, is moderate in the majority of the decisions in the case of women working in the government and semi-government sectors. The dependence of women in the private sector is to a great extent for the majority of the decisions.
