However, we will not refuse them if they are entered.” I wanted to find out how many SRs are included, describe their characteristics, and suggest …

Academic Commons and Scott Memorial Library Staff Papers and Presentations

Mobile devices, both personal and Jefferson-owned, are being used everywhere on campus. Everyone knows that patient health information should not be stored on mobile devices, but did you know there are similar restrictions for student information?

If you access your Jefferson email from your mobile device and it contains student email on it, or in your address book, you need to know the requirements to protect that data.

Is your device secure?

AISR and JeffIT are hosting a presentation that will address important data security steps you should take to protect the information on your mobile device.
