Medical Reference Services Quarterly, 2007Co-Authors: Stephanie C KernsAbstract:Abstract In today's world, library Users are confronted with almost too many options for using information because of the ubiquitousness of technology. Yet, libraries can harness the power of the same technologies to help Users find the information they need at the time it is needed. The tools described in this article represent a starting point for librarians looking for technologies that are easy to use, inexpensive, and have a reasonable learning curve. Technologies addressed include classroom technologies such as audience response systems and Web-based technologies, including Web tutorials and screencasting. These technologies enhance and offer flexibility and variety in many Educational settings.

don t be a phish steps in User Education
Technical Symposium on Computer Science Education, 2006Co-Authors: Stefan A Robila, James W RagucciAbstract:Phishing, e-mails sent out by hackers to lure unsuspecting victims into giving up confidential information, has been the cause of countless security breaches and has experienced in the last year an increase in frequency and diversity. While regular phishing attacks are easily thwarted, designing the attack to include User context information could potentially increase the User's vulnerability. To prevent this, phishing Education needs to be considered. In this paper we provide an overview of phishing Education, focusing on context aware attacks and introduce a new strategy for educating Users by combining phishing IQ tests and class discussions. The technique encompasses displaying both legitimate and fraudulent e-mails to Users and having them identify the phishing attempts from the authentic e-mails. Proper implementation of this system helps teach Users what to look for in e-mails, and how to protect their confidential information from being caught in the nets of phishers. The strategy was applied in Introduction to Computing courses as part of the computer security component. Class assessment indicates an increased level of awareness and better recognition of attacks.

A study on library User Education programmes in schools in Sri Lanka
2020Co-Authors: A. G. Nimal JayaweeraAbstract:The purpose of this study is to assess the library User Education programmes provided in schools, with special reference to the schools in Sri Lanka. The study identifies the competencies of the principals, the teachers and the teacher librarians on User Education programmes. The study also ascertains the types of User Education programmes, which is currently provided in the schools in Sri Lanka, the various User Education methods used, and the types of implementation problems faced when providing User Education programmes in schools. The adequacy of library resources, information skills that students prefer, use of the computers, students' level of information skills and respondent's suggestions for improvement of the User Education programmes in schools in Sri Lanka are also investigated. The study uses the postal questionnaire for data collection. Two hundred and fifty copies of the questionnaire are distributed to the principals, the teachers, the teacher librarians and students in Gampaha, Kalutara and Colombo districts in Western province in Sri Lanka. An analysis of the data shows that the schools in Sri Lanka do provide basic User Education programmes, such as the reading guidance programmes and curriculum integrated User Education programme. The most problematic situations in Sri Lankan schools are inadequate school library equipments, insufficient library materials, inadequate time to conduct the information skills programmes, no planning for the User Education programmes, and insufficient financial assistance to support the User information skills programmes. Most of students feel that the library facilities, materials, and arrangement of the library are not adequate to improve their information skills and they are not trained in the use of multimedia tools, drama production, publishing, television, radio and magazines production. The study indicates that the use of computers is very low in the schools in Sri Lanka. The respondents therefore suggest that techntechnology literacy programmes should be incorporated in User Education programmes.
