share course materials and communicate with your<br />

students in a variety of ways using Blackboard.<br />

LIBRARY ACCOUNT<br />

(MY ACCOUNT)<br />

In addition <strong>to</strong> your computing accounts you also<br />

you have charged out and when they are due, recall<br />

items that are charged <strong>to</strong> other borrowers, and see<br />

what fines might have been charged <strong>to</strong> your account.<br />

CAMPUS EMAIL LIST ADDRESSES<br />

AND GUIDELINES<br />

<strong>Faculty</strong> and staff will be part of several email<br />

distribution lists on campus. With the exception<br />

of the faculty discussion list, these lists are for<br />

distribution of information and should not be used<br />

<strong>to</strong> conduct discussion.<br />

The list below can be “opted out” of by a member of<br />

the community, so it is not necessarily all-inclusive.<br />

campus@bucknell.edu<br />

Includes all faculty, staff, students.<br />

faculty@bucknell.edu<br />

Includes all faculty, retired faculty by request, and<br />

non-faculty receiving faculty meeting minutes.


facstaff@bucknell.edu<br />

Includes all faculty, all administrative and<br />

support staff, and retiree's by request<br />

faculty-announce@bucknell.edu<br />

Includes all faculty, retired faculty, and nonfaculty<br />

who receive faculty minutes. This list<br />

should be used by non-members of the faculty@<br />

bucknell.edu list who need <strong>to</strong> distribute an<br />

announcement specific <strong>to</strong> the faculty.<br />

students@bucknell.edu<br />

Includes all undergraduate and graduate students.<br />

firstyear@bucknell.edu<br />

Includes all first-year students.<br />

sophomore@bucknell.edu<br />

Includes all sophomore students.<br />

juniors@bucknell.edu<br />

Includes all junior students.<br />

seniors@bucknell.edu<br />

The faculty@bucknell.edu list is a closed, unmoderated<br />

discussion list for members only, meaning messages<br />

flow freely without intervention from ISR and<br />

message delivery is usually rapid.<br />

Please note that there are other lists below can not<br />

be “opted out” of by a member of the community,<br />

and they can only be sent <strong>to</strong> by a select group of<br />

administra<strong>to</strong>rs on campus. These lists can be used<br />

by a select group of administra<strong>to</strong>rs only.<br />

allcampus@bucknell.edu<br />

Includes all faculty, staff and students.<br />

allfacstaff@bucknell.edu<br />

Includes all faculty, administrative and<br />

We moderate messages (review <strong>to</strong> ensure that they<br />

adhere <strong>to</strong> the campus list guidelines) twice daily<br />

Monday through Friday, 7:30-8:30 a.m. and 1:30-2<br />

p.m. (excluding <strong>Bucknell</strong> and national holidays).<br />

We will review messages on a first come, first served<br />

basis, and those we were unable <strong>to</strong> finish within the<br />

time period will be moderated during the next moderation<br />

time. Therefore, you should plan accordingly<br />

in sending your messages <strong>to</strong> the lists. The campus<br />

lists are not an immediate way <strong>to</strong> get information<br />

out <strong>to</strong> the campus. Please allow at least two full<br />

business days for your message <strong>to</strong> be moderated<br />

and delivered.<br />

To ensure the fastest possible delivery of your<br />

message, please verify that your message conforms<br />

<strong>to</strong> the campus list guidelines below.<br />

Sending a complete message with all required<br />

information will avoid unnecessary delays when<br />

our Postmaster has <strong>to</strong> return your message <strong>to</strong> you<br />

for correction.<br />

Lost & Found and For Sale messages cannot be posted.<br />

Computing Security<br />

Though almost everyone at <strong>Bucknell</strong> uses an<br />

Internet-connected computer daily, many do not<br />

realize the responsibility involved. Most simply use<br />

the Internet as a <strong>to</strong>ol without being aware of the<br />

risks. Many don’t realize that the <strong>Bucknell</strong> network is<br />

constantly under attack and that malicious activity<br />

occurs every day. Today’s technology <strong>to</strong>ols are<br />

incredibly powerful and one must remember that<br />

with great power comes great responsibility. Each of<br />

us must take responsibility <strong>to</strong> keep <strong>Bucknell</strong>’s computing<br />

environment safe.<br />

VIRUSES AND ANTIVIRUS<br />

SOFTWARE<br />

Viruses, worms and Trojan horses are man-made software<br />

programs created <strong>to</strong> wreak havoc on computers<br />

and the Internet. The chances of getting a virus<br />

over the Internet have increased incredibly over the<br />

last few years.<br />

Some viruses are relatively harmless while others are<br />

more destructive. Most recently many harmless<br />

viruses have been spread through opening email<br />

attachments. These types of viruses or worms often<br />

cause a sudden flood of email that overwhelms mail<br />

servers and the network, causing them <strong>to</strong> become<br />

very slow or crash.<br />

More destructive viruses are ones that are placed on<br />

your computer and activate on a certain day in the<br />

future. These often involve data and programs on<br />

your computer being deleted or changed. In the<br />

worst case, all the contents of your computer may<br />

be lost. These often start on one computer and replicate<br />

from computer <strong>to</strong> computer.<br />

how big is the computing security problem?<br />

■ 10,000 virus infected emails are caught each day by <strong>Bucknell</strong>’s email virus scanner.<br />

■ Every other day there is a campus computer broken in<strong>to</strong> by a hacker.<br />

■ 4.3 million virus infected emails were caught by <strong>Bucknell</strong>’s email virus scanner in the two<br />

days after the My Doom virus was released in January 2004.


Protecting Against Viruses<br />

ISR provides Symantec Antivirus, <strong>to</strong> all faculty,<br />

staff and registered students at no cost. Symantec<br />

Antivirus software is required by the Appropriate<br />

Usage Policy for all Windows computers connected<br />

<strong>to</strong> the network.<br />

It is not enough <strong>to</strong> simply install antivirus software;<br />

you must ensure that your virus definitions are up <strong>to</strong><br />

date. Up-<strong>to</strong>-date definitions will ensure that your<br />

virus scanner is scanning for the most recent viruses.<br />

All computers on <strong>Bucknell</strong>’s campus are connected<br />

au<strong>to</strong>matically <strong>to</strong> <strong>Bucknell</strong> Symantec Antivirus<br />

(NAVSYSTEM) server. This server au<strong>to</strong>matically delivers<br />

updates <strong>to</strong> your anti-virus software when you are<br />

connected <strong>to</strong> our network.<br />

Symantec Antivirus can locate viruses on your computer<br />

by completing regular virus scans and using<br />

Au<strong>to</strong>Protect. Virus scans are au<strong>to</strong>matically set <strong>to</strong> run<br />

on Tuesdays at noon. Au<strong>to</strong>Protect is enabled when<br />

Symantec is installed. Additional virus scans can be<br />

started manually or scheduled as needed.<br />

When your anti-virus software locates a file that is<br />

infected with a virus it either cleans the file or<br />

quarantines the file. More than likely the file is quarantined.<br />

These files will no longer affect your system.<br />

It is good practice <strong>to</strong> occasionally delete these files.<br />

Virus and Spam Scanning<br />

All email sent <strong>to</strong> or from your <strong>Bucknell</strong> email address<br />

is au<strong>to</strong>matically scanned for viruses. If it contains a<br />

virus, the attachment will be removed and the<br />

message will be sent <strong>to</strong> the intended recipient along<br />

with a text message indicating that an attachment<br />

was removed because it contained a virus.<br />

In order <strong>to</strong> send and receive “clean” messages, it is<br />

necessary <strong>to</strong> receive mail through mail.bucknell.edu<br />

and send mail through our SMTP server,<br />

smtp.bucknell.edu.<br />

The virus scanning software is also looking for files<br />

that appear like virus-ridden attachments. For your<br />

information, files with the following extensions are<br />

intercepted since they are commonly infected attachments:<br />

.bat, .cmd, .com, .exe, .reg, .chm, .cnf, .hta,<br />

.ins, .jse, .lnk, .pif, .scf, .scr, .sct, .shb, .shs, .vbe, .vbs,<br />

8<br />

.wsc, .wsf, .wsh, .xnk. If you need <strong>to</strong> receive a file with<br />

one of these extensions, please call the Tech Desk.<br />

All incoming email is sent through <strong>Bucknell</strong>’s spam<br />

filtering service works before the mail is delivered <strong>to</strong><br />

your inbox, very similar <strong>to</strong> the email virus scanning<br />

service. Your email will be scanned by the spam<br />

server and all “spam-like” emails will be placed in<br />

quarantine. Each day you will receive a spam digest<br />

that allows you <strong>to</strong> review the messages that have<br />

been placed in quarantine. If, by chance, any nonspam<br />

(false positives) messages were placed in<br />

quarantine, you can use the digest <strong>to</strong> “Allow” these<br />

messages through <strong>to</strong> your inbox.<br />

Email Viruses<br />

Most viruses are spread through email. Even with<br />

<strong>Bucknell</strong>’s email screening software there are times<br />

when a virus will slip through and show up in your<br />

inbox. There are several tips <strong>to</strong> help you prevent an<br />

infected email from infecting your computer:<br />

■ Configure your email program securely<br />

■ Never open attachments unless you are<br />

expecting them<br />

■ Never open attachments that are programs (with<br />

the extensions .bat, .chm, .cmd, .com, .exe, .hta,<br />

.ocx, .pif, .scr, .shs, .vbe, .vbs, or .wsf)<br />

■ Realize that the “From:” email address can be<br />

faked<br />

KEEPING YOUR SYSTEM SECURE<br />

Keeping your operating system updated is the most<br />

important thing you can do <strong>to</strong> protect your computer<br />

against viruses, spyware, and security break-ins.<br />

Simply by connecting your computer <strong>to</strong> the Internet<br />

or network for a few minutes you open it up <strong>to</strong> the<br />

possibility of attack. It is critical that every computer,<br />

especially newly installed systems, take steps <strong>to</strong><br />

ensure system security. Leaving your computer system<br />

insecure is like leaving your house with the door<br />

unlocked. An up-<strong>to</strong>-date operating system is your<br />

best protection against worms that spread across a<br />

network from computer <strong>to</strong> computer.


Updating Your System<br />

Windows<br />

<strong>to</strong>p 10 security mistakes<br />

In <strong>to</strong>day’s world it is a common occurrence <strong>to</strong> turn<br />

on the news and hear s<strong>to</strong>ries about a new Microsoft<br />

vulnerability that was just announced. To secure<br />

against these and other dangers, Windows users<br />

must faithfully update their operating system. Many<br />

do not complete an update because they believe the<br />

process will take a long time or that it will be difficult<br />

<strong>to</strong> understand. Windows Update may take a long<br />

time in some circumstances, but it is far faster than<br />

rebuilding a compromised system. It is actually very<br />

simple <strong>to</strong> update your Windows operating system<br />

with Microsoft’s Windows Update<br />

(http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com).<br />

Macin<strong>to</strong>sh OS X<br />

■ Not using up-<strong>to</strong>-date antivirus software<br />

■ Opening unsolicited email attachments<br />

■ Using easy-<strong>to</strong>-guess passwords<br />

■ Not using a “firewall” on your personally owned computer<br />

■ Sharing access <strong>to</strong> your computer with strangers through file sharing programs<br />

■ Staying connected <strong>to</strong> the Internet when not in use<br />

■ Not making backups of your data<br />

■ Not regularly updating your operating system<br />

■ Not completing a regular check on your computer’s security<br />

■ Not being aware of the support on campus should your computer get infected<br />

Software Update is an application in Mac OS X that<br />

checks weekly (by default) for updates <strong>to</strong> certain<br />

pieces of software. When Software Update finds a<br />

new update, it will keep prompting you until you<br />

either install the new software or choose <strong>to</strong> ignore it.<br />

Please don’t ignore it! Software Update keeps your<br />

operating system from security flaws.<br />

PASSWORD SECURITY<br />

Passwords are the first level of protection users use<br />

<strong>to</strong> protect their computer systems and accounts.<br />

People make two big password mistakes:<br />

1. they create easy-<strong>to</strong>-guess passwords and<br />

2. they write their passwords down and leave them<br />

in places where others can see them (on their<br />

computer screen).<br />

Most hackers will attempt <strong>to</strong> break in<strong>to</strong> someone’s<br />

system using passwords first. Hackers do this with<br />

password-cracking software. This software utilizes<br />

many dictionaries (including a variety of languages<br />

as well as common popular words) <strong>to</strong> crack the<br />

passwords. In order <strong>to</strong> guard against this you should<br />

create harder-<strong>to</strong>-crack passwords. One of the best<br />

ways <strong>to</strong> do this is <strong>to</strong> use mnemonics and numbers.<br />

Another common password problem is that, due <strong>to</strong><br />

the large number of passwords required in <strong>to</strong>day’s<br />

world, many use the same password for each system.<br />

Once one system is cracked the others are<br />

soon <strong>to</strong> follow.


Examples of Secure Passwords<br />

Password Security Tips<br />

■ Do not send passwords in email.<br />

■ Do not write your passwords in a place where<br />

others could find it.<br />

■ Be sure no one is watching when you login<br />

using your password.<br />

■ If you enter a password in<strong>to</strong> a Web site, be sure <strong>to</strong><br />

close all open browser windows when done.<br />

■ Don’t walk away from a computer until you are certain<br />

that you have logged off or locked the system.<br />

■ Do not use “remember password” options.<br />

■ Be wary of using Internet Explorer’s (or other<br />

programs’) Au<strong>to</strong>Complete function for usernames<br />

and passwords on web pages.<br />

KEEPING YOUR LAPTOP<br />

PHYSICALLY SECURE<br />

ON CAMPUS<br />

■ Label your lap<strong>to</strong>p! All the Dell computers going<br />

through the x-ray machine look the same. How will<br />

you know when yours comes out the other side?<br />

The Transportation Security Administration says<br />

that lap<strong>to</strong>ps “are one of the most forgotten items<br />

at Screening Checkpoints.” The easiest way <strong>to</strong><br />

label your lap<strong>to</strong>p: tape your business card <strong>to</strong> it!<br />

■ Lock your office door or residential hall room.<br />

■ Don’t leave it sitting on a table in the library or café<br />

■ Buy a good, durable travel bag for your lap<strong>to</strong>p. It<br />

should have lots of padding and reinforcement.<br />

Lap<strong>to</strong>p bags come in several different configurations:<br />

there are shoulder bags, backpacks, and<br />

wheeled bags that you pull. A good bag will not<br />

look like a lap<strong>to</strong>p bag – nothing attracts more<br />

attention than a bag with a computer manufacturer’s<br />

name splashed across the side.<br />

■ Make your bag instantly recognizable. Use colored<br />

tape, stickers, labels, nametags, or other unique<br />

ways of telling your bag from all the rest. If your<br />

bag starts <strong>to</strong> leave without you, you’ll notice!<br />

10<br />

■ Charge your batteries. Some airports will require<br />

you <strong>to</strong> turn on your computer <strong>to</strong> demonstrate that<br />

it really is a functional computer. You could be significantly<br />

delayed by dead batteries, not <strong>to</strong> mention<br />

you won’t have any entertainment for the trip.<br />

■ Run Symantec AntiVirus Live Update and make<br />

sure you have the most current virus definition files.<br />

■ Run Windows Update(Windows) or Software<br />

Update (Macin<strong>to</strong>sh) and make sure your operating<br />

system is up-<strong>to</strong>-date.<br />

While traveling ...<br />

■ The Transportation Security Administration recommends<br />

that you put cell phones, pagers, and<br />

PDAs (Palms) in your carry-on luggage. Be prepared<br />

<strong>to</strong> take your lap<strong>to</strong>p out of its case and send<br />

it through the x-ray machine in a separate bin from<br />

rest of your carry-on.<br />

■ If the security checkpoint is very crowded, wait for<br />

a gap before you put your lap<strong>to</strong>p through the xray.<br />

You want <strong>to</strong> reach the pickup point as quickly<br />

as possible.


■ If you are traveling with a group, the first person<br />

through can stand by the pickup point and watch<br />

everyone’s lap<strong>to</strong>ps.<br />

■ Be alert! Watch who is watching you, near you,<br />

being overly helpful or overly interested. Ticket<br />

and rental counters can be very stressful and distracting.<br />

If one person is being helpful, watch the<br />

other person.<br />

■ Lap<strong>to</strong>ps should never be <strong>to</strong>o hot or <strong>to</strong>o cold, <strong>to</strong>o<br />

jostled or <strong>to</strong>o bumped around. Treat them gently<br />

all the time, especially when they are on.<br />

■ Never leave your lap<strong>to</strong>p unattended.<br />

■ Keep some part of your body through the strap of<br />

the lap<strong>to</strong>p case at all times.<br />

■ Put your lap<strong>to</strong>p in the trunk of your car before you<br />

leave for your destination, not when you arrive. It<br />

is less likely that someone watching you will follow<br />

you or end up at the same location.<br />

■ Disconnect from the Internet when you aren’t<br />

using it. Who knows what kind of security your<br />

hotel offers? Your computer may be vulnerable <strong>to</strong><br />

the computers of all the other guests.<br />

You’re on your own!<br />

■ LiveUpdate is not au<strong>to</strong>matic when you are off the<br />

<strong>Bucknell</strong> campus. You need <strong>to</strong> run LiveUpdate <strong>to</strong><br />

protect your computer from viruses.<br />

■ Backups are not au<strong>to</strong>matic when you are traveling.<br />

You will need <strong>to</strong> bring blank CDs and burn copies<br />

of your files.<br />

■ Windows Update is not au<strong>to</strong>matic when you are<br />

traveling. Check the Windows Update website or<br />

the Software Update website at least once a<br />

week, especially if you don’t have a consistent<br />

Internet connection.<br />

■ If your lap<strong>to</strong>p is lost, s<strong>to</strong>len, or damaged,<br />

contact <strong>Bucknell</strong> immediately.<br />

When you return...<br />

■ When you have reconnected <strong>to</strong> the <strong>Bucknell</strong><br />

network, restart your computer.<br />

■ Check your virus definition dates. Run LiveUpdate<br />

if these dates are not current.<br />

11<br />

■ Check Windows Update and Software Update.<br />

Install any new critical or security updates.<br />

■ Run a full backup of all your new data.<br />

SPYWARE<br />

Spyware, also called adware, is software that is hidden<br />

on your computer that gathers personal information<br />

about you and your Internet use habits. The software<br />

then relays it <strong>to</strong> advertisers, sponsors and others.<br />

The one way that spyware is similar <strong>to</strong> a virus is in<br />

the way it affects your computer. Some typical<br />

symp<strong>to</strong>ms of spyware include:<br />

■ Computer instability — Slow down or hangs<br />

■ Random strange behaviors<br />

■ Software conflicts<br />

■ Slow network performance when others are fine<br />

■ Advertising popups (including pornography)<br />

■ New <strong>to</strong>olbars appear in your browser<br />

■ Your browser opens <strong>to</strong> a different webpage<br />

Spyware is normally installed without your knowledge<br />

when you install a legitimate software package. Sometimes<br />

the fine print of license agreements includes the<br />

information about the spyware but not always. For<br />

example, while simply installing freeware software like<br />

weather moni<strong>to</strong>ring software or peer-<strong>to</strong>-peer software<br />

like KaZaa or Morpheus, you also will install up <strong>to</strong> six<br />

spyware applications on your system.<br />

Spyware is hidden so it is difficult <strong>to</strong> recognize and<br />

remove. Spyware programs run in the background<br />

and consume significant amount of memory and<br />

CPU speed. Thus the applications you need <strong>to</strong> use<br />

do not perform at their best.<br />

Many believe that spyware can be removed using<br />

Symantec AntiVirus. However, even though some of<br />

the files may be detected by the anti-virus software,<br />

it cannot remove all the spyware. Two <strong>to</strong>ols that can<br />

be used <strong>to</strong> remove spyware are Lavasoft’s Ad-Aware<br />

and Spybot Search & Destroy. Beginning this fall, a<br />

licensed, managed spyware <strong>to</strong>ol called Spy Sweeper,<br />

will be installed on everyone’s machines. This <strong>to</strong>ol<br />

will au<strong>to</strong>matically scan and remove spyware from<br />

your computer.


It is recommended that everyone, even if you have<br />

not installed suspicious software, should use these<br />

<strong>to</strong>ols <strong>to</strong> scan their computer for Spyware.<br />

PEER-TO-PEER<br />

Programs that allow you <strong>to</strong> share files on another<br />

computer directly are called Peer-<strong>to</strong>-Peer or P2P.<br />

File sharing programs also allow others using the<br />

same software <strong>to</strong> access your computer and your<br />

files. Obviously, anyone with an interest in securing<br />

a computer has <strong>to</strong> pay close attention <strong>to</strong> any program<br />

that admits another user directly in<strong>to</strong> parts of<br />

their hard drive, and everyone involved in network<br />

security has <strong>to</strong> look at P2P as a potential hole for<br />

dangerous entry.<br />

<strong>Bucknell</strong> uses packet shaping <strong>to</strong> limit the amount<br />

of bandwidth that can be utilized for file sharing. A<br />

college network with its fast connections, technically<br />

savvy users and entertainment-oriented population<br />

presents an unbelievably attractive target for people<br />

from around the world looking for music and video<br />

files. If unattended, Internet traffic devoted <strong>to</strong> file<br />

sharing would quickly overwhelm every academic<br />

pursuit on campus and strangle our connection <strong>to</strong><br />

the Internet. Because of this, only a small percentage<br />

of our bandwidth is open <strong>to</strong> file sharing <strong>to</strong> or from off<br />

campus users.<br />

Request Form from the ISR website.<br />

Journals<br />

Due <strong>to</strong> their annual price increases, a new<br />

journal subscription represents a long-term<br />

commitment of financial resources. For this<br />

reason all requests for new journals received during<br />

the year are carefully reviewed by the New/Core<br />

Journals Committee in the fall. To learn more about<br />

the process <strong>to</strong> request a new title and <strong>to</strong> fill out the<br />

request form, click on Collections and Borrowing ><br />

Requesting Materials > New Journal Request Form<br />

on the ISR website.<br />

changing departmental needs, each department<br />

completes a Core Journal Review at least every three<br />

years. For more information about the Core Journal<br />

Review process, visit About ISR > Advisory<br />

Committees > ULC > OngoingCore Journal Review<br />

on the ISR website or contact your subject liaison or<br />

A recall is a request by a current <strong>Bucknell</strong> faculty<br />

member, staff member or student for material<br />

charged <strong>to</strong> another borrower. The policy allows adequate<br />

time for the initial borrower <strong>to</strong> use the item, but<br />

also ensures that a request is satisfied in a timely<br />

manner. Items recalled for the Reserve Room must<br />

be returned immediately. All borrower information is<br />

confidential and borrowers can recall any item, even<br />

if someone else has recalled it from them.<br />

Extended loan borrowers (faculty, staff, graduate<br />

students, and spouses) will be notified of a new due<br />

date if an item they have is recalled. The new due<br />

dates will allow five days <strong>to</strong> return recalled items. A<br />

notice will be sent encouraging the current borrower<br />

<strong>to</strong> return it before the due date if possible. Items<br />

charged <strong>to</strong> dependents, alumni, consortium or community<br />

OTHER SERVICES FOR FACULTY<br />

AND STAFF<br />

<strong>Faculty</strong> Study Carrels<br />

Twenty-five faculty studies are located on Level 3 of<br />

the Bertrand Library and are available <strong>to</strong> faculty<br />

members in order <strong>to</strong> support research that entails<br />

extensive usage of library materials for limited periods<br />

of time. Network and phone connections are<br />

available in these studies. Many will accommodate<br />

two persons; faculty members may be asked <strong>to</strong><br />

share a study with a colleague which is usually done<br />

on a time-sharing basis. ISR will assign studies <strong>to</strong><br />

interested applicants on the basis of the following:<br />

■ First priority will be given <strong>to</strong> faculty members<br />

working on a book, paper or other significant<br />

project (e.g., curriculum development), which<br />

requires extensive access <strong>to</strong> library materials and<br />

involves a specific deadline.<br />

■ Second priority will be granted <strong>to</strong> faculty members<br />

on leaves of absence who are engaged in<br />

20<br />

research, which, although it involves no deadline,<br />

requires extensive access <strong>to</strong> library materials.<br />

Due <strong>to</strong> limited availability, length of occupancy is<br />

normally one year.<br />

Applications are available online at Library Facilities<br />

and Services > Study Carrels on the ISR website,<br />

BLACKBOARD<br />

Blackboard is a course management software package<br />

that provides faculty and students with centralized<br />

online access <strong>to</strong> course documents, various<br />

communication <strong>to</strong>ols, and online quiz and grade<br />

book features. It allows instruc<strong>to</strong>rs <strong>to</strong> create and <strong>to</strong><br />

maintain a course web site with little or no knowledge<br />

of HTML code or of web page editing software.<br />

Blackboard allows faculty members <strong>to</strong> provide easy<br />

access <strong>to</strong> course-related documents in multiple formats,<br />

such as a course syllabus, assignments, discussion<br />

questions, PowerPoint files, images, video<br />

and audio files, etc. Blackboard also allows you <strong>to</strong><br />

provide links <strong>to</strong> documents that are s<strong>to</strong>red elsewhere<br />

on the Web: for example, articles on Electronic<br />

Reserve (ERes), external Web sites, etc. Materials in<br />

Blackboard are normally available only <strong>to</strong> students<br />

enrolled in the course.<br />

Blackboard can enhance communication between<br />

faculty members and students and also among the<br />

students in the course. It allows a faculty member<br />

<strong>to</strong> post course-related announcements for the<br />

students <strong>to</strong> see, it allows the instruc<strong>to</strong>r or any<br />

member of the class <strong>to</strong> email the entire class,<br />

groups of students, or individual students, and it<br />

can facilitate group interaction by providing a group<br />

discussion board, document s<strong>to</strong>rage space, and<br />

group chat area. Together, these features make<br />

Blackboard a great <strong>to</strong>ol <strong>to</strong> support student learning<br />

and collaborative class projects.


If you want <strong>to</strong> know more about how Blackboard,<br />

contact us at itec@bucknell.edu, or access<br />

Blackboard from my<strong>Bucknell</strong> and check out your<br />

Blackboard course. To log in <strong>to</strong> Blackboard for the<br />

first time, you’ll most likely need your 8-letter password<br />

that you received in the mail. If you have problems<br />

logging in <strong>to</strong> Blackboard, you can use the<br />

“Forgot your password?” link at the bot<strong>to</strong>m of the<br />

evaluating students, and as student projects.<br />

ITEC provides beginning instruction in video editing.<br />

We will also consult with you on your video projects.<br />

Video cameras are available for checkout, and editing<br />

software is available in various locations around<br />

A learning object is any digital resource that can be<br />

reused <strong>to</strong> support learning. ITEC staff welcomes the<br />

opportunity <strong>to</strong> work with faculty <strong>to</strong> create a wide<br />

variety of learning objects, including animations,<br />

simulations, quizzes, tu<strong>to</strong>rials, collections, presentations,<br />

and exercises. We use various types of software<br />

<strong>to</strong> create and <strong>to</strong> deliver these materials <strong>to</strong> your<br />

students. Come see us with your ideas, and we’ll<br />

22<br />

discuss ways <strong>to</strong> create appropriate learning objects<br />

for your course.<br />

IMAGE DATABASES<br />

<strong>Bucknell</strong> offers faculty three <strong>to</strong>ols for working with<br />

digital images: Insight, ARTs<strong>to</strong>r, and ImageDB.<br />

Insight is a digital object collection, management,<br />

and presentation <strong>to</strong>ol developed by Luna Imaging,<br />

Inc. Collections within Insight are available <strong>to</strong> the<br />

entire <strong>Bucknell</strong> community or can be shared with the<br />

world. Images can be saved in<strong>to</strong> groups, downloaded<br />

<strong>to</strong> individual computers, exported <strong>to</strong><br />

PowerPoint, or displayed through Insight’s own presentation<br />

<strong>to</strong>ols. Insight is best used for managing<br />

large collections of images <strong>to</strong> be shared with students<br />

or used by colleagues – either at <strong>Bucknell</strong> or at<br />

other institutions. Several collections – created at<br />

<strong>Bucknell</strong> as well as from other institutions -- are currently<br />

available. Some collections include:<br />

- Allen<strong>to</strong>wn Art Museum<br />

- AMICA – Art Museum Images<br />

- Archive of Early American Images from the John<br />

Carter Brown Library<br />

- <strong>Bucknell</strong> <strong>University</strong> His<strong>to</strong>ry (Collection created at<br />

<strong>Bucknell</strong>.)<br />

- Catena Digital Archive of His<strong>to</strong>ric Gardens and<br />

Landscapes<br />

- Construction Collection (Collection created at<br />

<strong>Bucknell</strong>.)<br />

- Hoover Institution Poster Collection<br />

- Humanities Digital Image Collection (Collection<br />

created at <strong>Bucknell</strong>.)<br />

- Japanese His<strong>to</strong>rical Maps<br />

- Maps of Africa<br />

- MOAC – Museums and Online Archive of<br />

California<br />

- National Palace in Taipei<br />

- Pennsylvania Covered Bridges (Collection created<br />

at <strong>Bucknell</strong>.)<br />

- Political Americana Collection<br />

- Rutgers Art His<strong>to</strong>ry Collection<br />

- Samek Art Gallery Digital Image Collection<br />

(Collection created at <strong>Bucknell</strong>.)<br />

- Stanford Geological Survey


Collections are being added on a regular basis. See<br />

the ISR > Digital Collections web site for details<br />

about the collections.<br />

ARTs<strong>to</strong>r is an online collection of hundreds of thousands<br />

of digital images related <strong>to</strong> art, art his<strong>to</strong>ry,<br />

architecture, his<strong>to</strong>ry, etc. ISR has licensed a subscription<br />

<strong>to</strong> ARTs<strong>to</strong>r. <strong>Faculty</strong> are able <strong>to</strong> use images<br />

from ARTs<strong>to</strong>r (along with the associated data for<br />

those images) for teaching and research purposes. A<br />

second component of ARTs<strong>to</strong>r, the Offline Viewer,<br />

allows faculty <strong>to</strong> uses high-resolution images in<br />

classroom presentations. The Offline Viewer allows<br />

users <strong>to</strong> create cus<strong>to</strong>mized slide shows incorporating<br />

personal images alongside of ARTs<strong>to</strong>r content.<br />

Another <strong>to</strong>ol ISR provides for faculty is ImageDB, a<br />

web-based application used <strong>to</strong> organize and access<br />

personal collections of digital images. ImageDB is<br />

highly flexible and can be adapted for specialized<br />

uses such as creating field names and data in foreign<br />

languages. <strong>Faculty</strong> are able <strong>to</strong> upload images and<br />

data <strong>to</strong> their collections on their own. Users can<br />

search for images based on criteria that you specify<br />

or browse through web-based “slides shows” that<br />

collection owners can create.<br />

ITEC is happy <strong>to</strong> consult with faculty <strong>to</strong> determine<br />

which software option will best suit their needs.<br />

SOCIAL SOFTWARE<br />

Social software is a class of software used <strong>to</strong> support<br />

communications, interactions, and group projects.<br />

Examples include journals (weblogs or blogs), group<br />

project <strong>to</strong>ols (Wikis), discussion boards and listservs,<br />

and instant messaging. ITEC is continually looking for<br />

ways that faculty can use social software in the classroom.<br />

We will happily demonstrate and answer questions<br />

about social software and help you explore ways<br />

<strong>to</strong> integrate these <strong>to</strong>ols in<strong>to</strong> your courses. We currently<br />

have journal (blog), collaborative editing (Wiki), and<br />

discussion board capabilities in Blackboard.<br />

23<br />

ELECTRONIC PORTFOLIOS<br />

ePortfolios have a wide variety of applications,<br />

including evaluating student work and creating<br />

teaching and scholarly portfolios. Consult with ITEC<br />

for ways <strong>to</strong> use ePortfolios and for suggestions on<br />

getting started.<br />

CLICKERS<br />

Clickers or personal response device, collects and<br />

records student responses <strong>to</strong> questions during class.<br />

The system allows for active participation of the students<br />

and provides immediate feedback <strong>to</strong> the<br />

instruc<strong>to</strong>r. ITEC has a limited supply of clickers <strong>to</strong> lend<br />

<strong>to</strong> faculty for trial use; you are able <strong>to</strong> order clickers<br />

for your students by placing the request on your<br />

Instructional Materials Request for the Books<strong>to</strong>re.


EXERCISES AND DRILLS<br />

ITEC supports two products that allow faculty <strong>to</strong> fill<br />

out a form that generates web-based completion,<br />

flash card, and matching exercises: The Makers and<br />

StudyMate. Bring your exercise materials <strong>to</strong> ITEC,<br />

and we will help you get started.<br />

WIDE FORMAT COLOR PRINTING<br />

ITEC has a 36" wide color inkjet printer available <strong>to</strong><br />

faculty and their students who are exhibiting their<br />

Copyright<br />

With the evolution of computing and digital technology,<br />

copyright law has become a major issue for colleges<br />

and universities. Students, faculty, and staff of academic<br />

institutions such as <strong>Bucknell</strong> are given certain<br />

rights when using copyrighted material for educational<br />

purposes. It is important for you <strong>to</strong> be familiar with<br />

these rights and understand what you can and cannot<br />

do with copyrighted material at <strong>Bucknell</strong>.<br />

WHAT MATERIAL IS COPYRIGHTED?<br />

According <strong>to</strong> the U.S. Copyright Office, “original<br />

works of authorship including literary, dramatic,<br />

musical, and artistic works, such as poetry, novels,<br />

movies, songs, computer software, and architecture”<br />

are copyrighted. This means that anything that has<br />

been written, recorded, performed, or displayed is<br />

owned by someone. A work is copyrighted from the<br />

moment it is produced — there is no need <strong>to</strong> have<br />

any paperwork on file with any agency. So, if you<br />

have a personal website, it is protected under copyright<br />

law. No one else can use the original material<br />

on your site without your permission.<br />

FAIR USE OF COPYRIGHTED MATERIAL<br />

U.S. Copyright law permits certain academic use of<br />

copyrighted material through a principle called “fair<br />

use.” Fair use can be difficult <strong>to</strong> determine. However,<br />

if you are using a small portion of a copyrighted item<br />

exclusively for non-commercial, academic work and<br />

do not try <strong>to</strong> pass it off as your own work, fair use<br />

should apply.<br />

COPYRIGHT FAQS FOR FACULTY<br />

1. Why do I have <strong>to</strong> concern myself with copyright<br />

law since I’m using materials for educational<br />

purposes?<br />

All educational use is not au<strong>to</strong>matically legal<br />

under the fair use guidelines of U.S. copyright<br />

law. There are four fac<strong>to</strong>rs that must be assessed<br />

for each copyrighted work <strong>to</strong> determine if your<br />

use is fair use. See the four fac<strong>to</strong>rs listed below<br />

for details.


2. How much information can I use from a<br />

copyrighted work without getting permission?<br />

The following figures are based on the “Agreement<br />

on <strong>Guide</strong>lines for Classroom Copying in<br />

Not-For-Profit Educational Institutions With<br />

Respect <strong>to</strong> Books and Periodicals.” These are the<br />

so-called “Fair Use <strong>Guide</strong>lines” which have been<br />

generally accepted by the educational and publishing<br />

communities even though they do not<br />

have the force of law:<br />

• Prose:<br />

From any publication: one complete article,<br />

s<strong>to</strong>ry or essay of less than 2,500 words OR<br />

An excerpt from any prose work of not more<br />

than 1,000 words or 10% of the work, whichever<br />

is less, and not less than 500 words<br />

• Illustration:<br />

One picture, chart, graph, diagram, drawing,<br />

or car<strong>to</strong>on per book or per periodical issue.<br />

26<br />

3. May I use charts, graphs and other pages from<br />

the course textbook in my PowerPoint presentation<br />

for lectures?<br />

If you are using the material once (only for one<br />

course, for one semester) and you are not using<br />

more than 10% of the publication, you may incorporate<br />

a scanned image in<strong>to</strong> your presentation.<br />

If you want <strong>to</strong> use the material in presentations on<br />

a repeated basis, seek permission from the publisher<br />

of the textbook. Publishers frequently are willing<br />

<strong>to</strong> let educa<strong>to</strong>rs use their materials, but you legally<br />

must seek permission before using copyrighted<br />

materials in class in this manner.<br />

4. Can I rent a video from the local video s<strong>to</strong>re and<br />

show it in my class?<br />

If you are using the video for instructional purposes<br />

during a regularly-scheduled class period, you may<br />

use the video. However, you may only show the<br />

video once. For additional showings, you must<br />

receive permission from the copyright holder.


5. Can I check out a video from the library and show<br />

it at an event other than my class?<br />

Not unless the library has purchased the video<br />

with public performance rights. Check with the<br />

library <strong>to</strong> see if the video you want <strong>to</strong> use is<br />

available for public showing.<br />

6. I’m teaching the same course next semester. May<br />

I leave my pho<strong>to</strong>copied materials on reserve for a<br />

second semester?<br />

No. In order <strong>to</strong> use materials for a second semester,<br />

you need <strong>to</strong> first receive permission from the<br />

publisher/copyright holder.<br />

7. Is there anything that can be freely shared and<br />

put on reserve without obtaining permission from<br />

the copyright holder?<br />

Any item in the public domain may be used without<br />

obtaining permission. For example, anything<br />

published by the U.S. government, unless stated<br />

otherwise, is in the public domain and may be<br />

freely used. Also, many journals include a statement<br />

that will let you place an article on reserve<br />

for academic purposes.<br />

27<br />

8. May I use excerpts from an anthology or from<br />

various works and authors <strong>to</strong> create a compilation<br />

of readings for my course?<br />

No. It is a violation of the fair use guidelines.<br />

In order <strong>to</strong> copy or create an anthology or course<br />

pack, it is necessary <strong>to</strong> obtain the publisher’s<br />

permission for each item.<br />

9. I can’t find a book I’d like <strong>to</strong> assign <strong>to</strong> my students.<br />

May I pho<strong>to</strong>copy the entire book?<br />

If an extensive marketplace search has been<br />

conducted and it has been determined that the<br />

book cannot be purchased at a reasonable price<br />

and within a reasonable time period, the entire<br />

book may be pho<strong>to</strong>copied. You must search<br />

commonly-known U.S. trade sources and, if that<br />

fails, an attempt must be made <strong>to</strong> obtain the<br />

copyright owner’s permission. As a last resort, if<br />

all of these methods fail, you may pho<strong>to</strong>copy and<br />

distribute the book <strong>to</strong> your students.<br />

10. What is an open access journal?<br />

An open access journal is one that does not<br />

charge readers or institutions for access. These<br />

journals are online, free of most copyright<br />

restrictions, and can be distributed freely.


11. I have written an article which was published.<br />

Can I place a copy of it on my web page?<br />

Generally, no, unless you have retained that right<br />

when you signed your publication agreement.<br />

Once the article is published the copyright transfers<br />

<strong>to</strong> the publisher and all copyright guidelines<br />

apply. You would need <strong>to</strong> receive permission from<br />

the publisher <strong>to</strong> place it on your web page.<br />

Check the language of the publisher’s contract<br />

before you sign it. You may be able <strong>to</strong> negotiate<br />

with the publisher for permission in advance.<br />

12. Can I copy a worksheet or test from a published<br />

source <strong>to</strong> use in class?<br />

No. These are “consumable” items and require<br />

permission from the copyright holder. Consumables<br />

of this nature are usually available for purchase<br />

— either as an instruc<strong>to</strong>r’s pack or as a<br />

student workbook.<br />

13. Do copyright laws apply <strong>to</strong> items found on the web?<br />

All materials — even those that are unpublished,<br />

do not contain the © copyright symbol, or are<br />

freely available on the Internet — are covered by<br />

copyright law. To use anything found on the<br />

Internet, you need <strong>to</strong> follow the same procedures<br />

<strong>to</strong> obtain permission from the copyright owner as<br />

you would if you were trying <strong>to</strong> use the material<br />

in printed format.<br />

14. Can I print or download information from<br />

the web without violating copyright laws?<br />

Generally, you may download and print a single<br />

copy for your own personal, non-profit use.<br />

However, you do not have permission <strong>to</strong> make<br />

copies, include the resource in an article or book<br />

you are submitting for publication, or distribute<br />

the work <strong>to</strong> your students. The same copyright<br />

laws apply <strong>to</strong> materials found the Internet.<br />

28<br />

15. Are images protected under copyright law?<br />

Yes. Copyright law protects an “original work of<br />

authorship” which includes “pic<strong>to</strong>rial, graphic,<br />

and sculptural works.” This covers any and all<br />

images in any format, including digital images.<br />

16. I’d like <strong>to</strong> show slides or digital images in class that<br />

come from my students’ textbook. May I scan/make<br />

slides of all of the images in our textbook?<br />

No. The amount of images from a book, whether<br />

or not they are available for purchase, and<br />

whether or not you intend <strong>to</strong> use the images in<br />

future semesters are all fac<strong>to</strong>rs. If you would like<br />

<strong>to</strong> use a large number of images from a given<br />

source, contact a librarian <strong>to</strong> see if those images<br />

are available for purchase.<br />

17. As an assignment, my students are building web<br />

pages for non-profit organizations as a service<br />

learning project. Are there any special copyright<br />

laws I should be aware of?<br />

Yes. Service learning projects generally do not<br />

fall under educational copyright protection. Web<br />

sites that are built for organizations and published<br />

on their web sites need <strong>to</strong> abide by full copyright<br />

guidelines. Make sure your students do not use<br />

images or text from Internet sources that could<br />

potentially make the organizations liable for<br />

breach of copyright law that occurred without<br />

their knowledge.<br />

18. How do I cite an article or image I found on a<br />

web site?<br />

Most of the standard citation formats include<br />

information about citing electronic sources — web<br />

sites, articles on the Internet, and articles downloaded<br />

from electronic databases. The ISR web<br />

site has short guides <strong>to</strong> various citation formats.<br />

For more information, ask a librarian.


FOUR FACTORS FOR<br />

DETERMINING FAIR USE<br />

1. The purpose and character of the use, including<br />

whether such use is of a commercial nature or is for<br />

nonprofit educational purposes<br />

• Fair Use favors educational use over commercial<br />

use. It also favors uses that are “transformative”<br />

and not merely reproductions. For example,<br />

quotes from a book or article that are used in a<br />

paper for commentary and critique are covered<br />

under Fair Use.<br />

2. The nature of the copyrighted work<br />

• Nonfiction is generally favored over fiction.<br />

Printed works are generally favored over audiovisual<br />

material. Fair use of a commercial work that<br />

is produced for the educational market is usually<br />

not covered under the guidelines. A consumable<br />

workbook that is copied for class use will<br />

not be favored under fair use.<br />

3. The amount and substantiality of the portion used<br />

in relation <strong>to</strong> the copyrighted work as a whole<br />

29<br />

• The less you take the more likely your use will<br />

be covered under fair use. However, if you take<br />

the “heart” of the work, the copying will not be<br />

considered fair use.<br />

4. The effect of the use upon the potential market<br />

for or value of the copyrighted work<br />

• If your use of copyrighted material is in an<br />

area where the purchase of an original should have<br />

occurred, then you are probably in violation of fair<br />

use. The “effect” is closely linked with “purpose.” If<br />

your purpose is research or scholarship there is<br />

probably little market effect. Reproductions of software<br />

and videotapes, no matter what their use, will<br />

probably have adverse effects on potential markets<br />

for those works.<br />

While copyright law is complex, intellectual property<br />

violations are serious. You, your students, ISR, and<br />

<strong>Bucknell</strong> <strong>University</strong> are all responsible for appropriate<br />

usage of copyrighted materials. <strong>Bucknell</strong> adheres <strong>to</strong><br />

all U.S. copyright laws. For more information, visit<br />

the ISR website or contact the ISR office at x7-1557<br />

if you have specific questions.
