Library power outages and losing documents

Just a reminder that students (and all patrons) should be encouraged to save their documents often and in the ways recommended below. Even a brief power outage can results in lost documents. Recommendations and warnings from IT are listed below.

Safest ways to save:

• Flash drive/memory stick
• Google Docs (does auto-save frequently)
• CD
• Email it to yourself

Unsafe:

• Saving to desktop only (can be lost in an outage)
• Documents folder only

Economist Intelligence Unit Profiles and Reports database

There is an additional step once you get into this database to be able to have access to country profiles, reports, profiles, etc. Click on "Enterprise Client Access" in the lower left part of the screen. That is the only way you get to the data. I have added this note to the database description in Drupal.
