I use Word as a student a great deal because, as an English major, I have to write a lot and often. I've worked my way through a whole lot of pages, but despite that I feel like I've barely used many of Word's features. All I need typically is Times New Roman, some spacing tweaks, and some miscellaneous formatting. There is still much to the program that I need to learn.

Academic honesty is pertinent to my work on what feels like a daily basis. A lot of my coursework involves analyzing academic journals or including their findings in my own research papers. Unsurprisingly, citing sources and ensuring that you only use accessible information are both reiterated constantly over in Williams. I've had professors who claimed that they would fail you for plagiarism, but I've never had the nerve or misfortune to test them.

I don't plan to teach, but academic dishonesty is relevant to being a librarian as well. Librarians work with, and help others use academic online databases frequently. A crucial aspect of using the knowledge curated in said databases is attributing borrowed information in the appropriate fashion. If I were at a college library for instance, I'd want to establish sessions to both teach students how to get the most out of online databases and how to appropriately cite and utilize information in order to avoid academic dishonesty. A lack of funding in an academic library setting would negatively impact the amount of databases that students and faculty would be able to access. Universities spend a large amount money maintaining access to online databases for academic journals and other materials, and losing them in a budget cut would be tough to handle. I suppose I'd have to do my best to guide students to tangible research materials relevant to their studies. This would narrow the collection of information they could use significantly, and would be a blow to a library's efficacy.
