Laptop and Cell Phone Theft Prevention - You Hold the Key!
The Legal Research Center reminds you that thieves on campuses aren't only after your money. They also target laptops and cell phones -- items that too many students carelessly leave unattended. A library may feel like a safe haven, but thefts do occur, and they only take a moment. When you have to step away, even briefly, remember these tips...
- Take your cell phone with you.
- Either take your laptop with you or secure it with a laptop lock, which you can check out at the Circ Desk.
- Any other items of obvious value -- car keys, wallets, purses, etc. -- should also not be left unattended.
- Don't leave the key to your study room hanging in the door lock; take it with you.

The MPEPIL is an online resource containing peer-reviewed articles on public international law, written and edited by scholars and practitioners and updated throughout the year. Articles within the Encyclopedia can be searched by title, full text, author, bibliography, and more; the collection can be browsed by name, subject, or author.
HeinOnline iPad/iPhone app now available
The official HeinOnline iOS app lets you use your iPad or iPhone to view image-based PDFs, access content by citation, browse by volume, navigate a volume with the electronic table of contents, and use full advanced searching techniques available on HeinOnline. You can download it from the Apple App Store. After downloading, make sure you’re connected to Drexel’s DragonFly wireless network and from the Menu choose “IP Authentication”, which will allow you unrestricted use of the app for 30 days before needing to re-authenticate.
