I think not, otherwise I violated the rules when I was at Cornell.  When
the assignment was not to derive an algorithm or do the proof myself, I
sometimes got solutions from my personal library (I avoided the
University libraries except for facetime).  Of course I always cited my
source.  None of my profs or TA's ever complained.
