Abstract
ABSTRACT Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, more and more people are working remotely and inundated with even more e-mails containing all types of information and files. This can make online privacy a real need for concern. Social engineering and phishing can cause all sorts of problems for today’s computer and smart device users. Fortunately, there are steps to mitigate these areas of concern. This column will address what these issues are and how than can be prevented.
期刊介绍:
The Serials Librarian is an international journal covering all aspects of the management of serials and other continuing resources in any format—print, electronic, etc.—ranging from their publication, to their abstracting and indexing by commercial services, and their collection and processing by libraries. The journal provides a forum for discussion and innovation for all those involved in the serials information chain, but especially for librarians and other library staff, be they in a single (continuing resources) department or in collection development, acquisitions, cataloging/metadata, or information technology departments.
