Technology Tip: Save Your Work Frequently!

As the semester gets under way, it's good to remember that computers sometimes freeze up, crash, lose power or experience other problems that may cause you to lose your unsaved work.

You can save to your student network space, a memory stick, a CD-R or a floppy disk. Another tip is to email your work to yourself as an attachment. Note: You can buy a CD-R (with jewel case) for $1.00 or a floppy disk for 25 cents at the Library's Circulation Desk.

Don't lose all your hard work -- remember to SAVE frequently! Make it a habit!

Exploring World Religions

During the next few months, the Library will be doing displays on different world religions. We think these displays will be more interesting with the inclusion of your thoughts and opinions, so please consider answering this question for us:

What do you think is the essence of your religion, or what does your religion mean to you?

Your thoughts and opinions will be placed in the display case signed or unsigned - whichever you prefer. Please write them in the comment book near the display case in the front entrance or email them to Eleanor Jacoby at jacoby@niagara.edu. If you have any questions or comments, please call Eleanor at 716-286-8013.
