Blackboard uses something called SafeAssign.

SafeAssign checks all submitted papers against the following databases:

Internet - comprehensive index of documents available for public access on the Internet
ProQuest ABI/Inform database with over 1,100 publication titles and about 2.6 million articles from '90s to present time, updated weekly (exclusive access)
Institutional document archives containing all papers submitted to SafeAssign by users in their respective institutions
Global Reference Database containing papers that were volunteered by students from Blackboard client institutions to help prevent cross-institutional plagiarism.
