Subject: Phishing, Spamming and Blacklisting ... all of the above!

PHISHING, SPAMMING AND BLACKLISTING … ALL OF THE ABOVE!

Dalhousie is currently experiencing a steady stream of phished accounts over the past several days. Lots of spam (tax scams, fake “mystery shopper” fraud).

When in doubt, throw it out! Be wary of ANY emails asking you to do something. Those who get duped not only jeopardize their own privacy and information, but those of others. It also allows the internet scoundrels to deploy nasty attacks elsewhere from our network and YOUR COMPROMISED ACCOUNT.

We all have to deal with this, but we all must remain vigilant.

From: Campus Copy
Subject: Course readers

The end of the semester is here and Campus Copy is looking ahead to another course reader season. Just a reminder that if you're interested in producing a course reader for an upcoming course you're teaching this summer, Campus Copy can help. Please e-mail your E-Log spreadsheet to ccopy@dal.ca and drop your master copy off at Campus Copy as soon as you have it ready. If you are unable to give us two weeks of notice with your reader order, we will do our best to have them on the shelf as quickly as possible. The orders will be processed in the order they come through the door.

Here are some things to consider in your choice to produce a course reader:
- Campus Copy uses "Earth Choice" copy paper which comes from sustainable sources and we offer 100% recycled paper as an even more sustainable option
- Students benefit from reading from a paper source rather than an electronic source because it allows them to highlight passages and make notes on the pages
- You are supporting students by working with Campus Copy as it is primarily a student-run business

If you have any questions about the E-Log process or the copyright laws, please feel free to contact Jennifer Miles at 494-1240 or ccopy@dal.ca. We look forward to working with you soon!
