Digital documents, such as Microsoft's LIT-format eBooks and
Adobe's PDF files enable a new level of information sharing among interested
parties, and can facilitate classroom preparedness, through portability of
coursepacks, syllabi, and other textual media.
- Adobe PDF - Portable Document Format files are an
excellent means of dispensing course material that would otherwise be available
only in the form of photocopies or limited-availability library books. With
PDF digital files, the same information can be distributed among all the
students in a class, who can be permitted to print the document on demand.
- Microsoft Reader eBooks - Similar features are also
available through the use of Microsoft Reader eBooks, or LIT files. These
files can be arranged neatly in a private digital library, and formatted
to suit the portability and/or security needs of specific academic courses.
The Microsoft Reader also allows users to highlight, bookmark, and make
"margin notes", which are also organized in a special library
format.

Procedural Policy on Academic Integrity
The use of any information for academic study, whether in
Casavaria's pages or in the context of classwork, must abide by laws of copyright,
fair use, and by the fundamental ethical standards implied by the academic
process itself.
Casavaria aspires not only to provide access to information
and communities where research and creative work can be shared and critiqued,
but also to instill in the use of digital media the basic principles of academic
integrity. These, succinctly, are as follows:
- Citation & Fair Use
All phrases drawn from the work of others, whether verbatim or in paraphrase,
must be visibly and accurately cited according to accepted standards. As
such, no user, student or professor, shall in any way attempt to use the
work of others under his or her own name.
- Truthfulness/Substantiation of Claims
Due to the implied wisdom of professional research, any claims of scientific
fact or veracity must in good faith be based on some substantiating evidence
or honest critical examination of materials studied.
- Viewing Casavaria Resources
All users must treat information shared or discovered through Casavaria's
pages as printed or published material, subject to the same standards of
authorship, citation and fair use. Any attempt to use another individual's
words as one's own is illegal and strictly forbidden.
- Creative Application
According to Casavaria's Integrated Academics philosophy,
the creative application of studied knowledge is a necessary and beneficial
part of the academic process. Individuals are encouraged to use their learning
in new and experimental ways, but always in keeping with Academic Integrity
guidelines.
- Sincere Knowledge
True learning requires a deep, broadly intuited comprehension
of materials being studied. The rote learning of facts is only one part
of this process. For the sake of each individual's long-term benefit, every
academic participant in Casavaria's University Services should be engaged
in processing what is researched and integrating the resulting knowledge
into a lifelong intellectual pursuit.
- Insitutional Primacy
The rules governing Academic Integrity set forth by your institution,
when they go beyond Casavaria's restrictions, must be adhered to during
any engagement with Casavaria's University Services.
