There is one thing to note about Turnitin. A group of high school students has sued
Turnitin on copyright grounds. The suit is new, and there is no resolution (and
there probably won't be for a year or so at minimum) but it will be something to
watch.

A lot more requests for a hit than actual help, but here goes:

We use MyDropBox.com. It's cheaper and about as good if your needs are
simple.
Hello, I looked into MyDropBox also but ended up with Turnitin. Turnitin
does have an introductory rate and a "starter" package. Don't rule it out
without checking it out. We just started using it this year and hope to
have a trainer come out for an in-service next year for a more in depth
training. We are up and running though without any difficulties.
There were also two suggestions about teaching proper citations and using a
search engine, but that's not what I was looking for.
Thanks for your advice.
