However, the Turnitin database currently does not search books or articles in subscription databases available through the UMGC Library Databases. Turnitin has a database of over a million papers and assignments sent to them by students and teachers, a digitized version of the Gutenberg Collection of Literary Classics, and papers pulled from the Internet and various 'paper mills,' (i.e., services that sell term papers). We have supplied faculty with instructions for setting up a draft folder to allow students to check work prior to submitting to assignment folders. If the same student submits multiple times to the same assignment folder, Turnitin will not count the 2nd, 3rd, or subsequent submissions as similar to the first. The results are available directly in the assignment folder a student or faculty member only needs to click the Similarity Score to get the full Similarity Report. Once a document is submitted to an assignment folder, Turnitin checks the new submission against its database of materials to look for matches or near-matches in strings of text.

As of January 2020, we are using the version of Turnitin that is integrated directly in assignment folders in the LEO Classroom. Turnitin uses data-mining to compile a large database of electronic academic materials that it indexes and stores. See Turnitin Feedback and scroll down to the section that says Instructor Comments.
