Student passwords for logging in to computers

Hello

Tamiko from the helpdesk came by the technical assistance, reference, circulation desks and told us hints to identify whether or not students should use social security or banner id numbers for passwords when logging on to computers.

EXAMPLE:

Student name is Brian Johnson.

If email address is abbreviated, like bjohn023@wssu.edu then their password is their social.
If email address is the whole last name like, bjohnson107@wssu.edu then their password is their banner id number.

No Halloween masks

Hi all

I ran across a student in the library with a Halloween mask on today. I asked him to remove it and he did with no problem. However, please keep in mind to tell students who may do this to take off all masks so that we can see their face. In lieu of campus shootings around the country and other incidents, we do not want anyone to panic or create chaos.

Thanks

Finally, the website we need. Take a look at http://inventors.about.com/od/blackinventors/Famous_Black_Inventors.htm
I found this from using the NCSU Patent Library that I learned about at NCLA. Check it out, too. http://www.lib.ncsu.edu/ptdl/. It's much easier to search than the USPTO.
