Legal Research Center Announcements
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.
