We’d like to encourage all department members to take a short eCourse on information security awareness. This UC-specific course covers basic information regarding security, email, passwords, and social engineering, in addition to introducing contemporary threats and teaching good behaviors that protect information. It can be completed in about 30 minutes, and is highly recommended for anyone in today's electronic world. You can access the course from the link above.

Open Scholar

 UCLA’s Information Technology Planning Board and Office of Information Technology are sponsoring the Faculty Digital Presence (FDP) project, which gives faculty members the ability to create professional websites to showcase their scholarship, teaching, and service. The web based service used for this effort is called “Open Scholar." It allows users to customize their sites with various features such as bios, publication lists, and blogs. See some examples here: http://vimeo.com/9887585 If you are interested in trying this service please reply to this message and we'll help you get started.
