IT Security Tip
If you access the Internet from a computer lab or a kiosk on campus, make sure you log out when you are done. Leaving the computer unlocked or a website open puts your personal information at risk.
Banner Tip
Using wildcards in Banner
When performing a search in Banner, use wildcards such as the percent sign (%) whenever possible.
Examples:
Names
"Mende%" will yield Mendes, Mendez, Mendez-Klein, etc.
"De%La%Rosa" will yield De La Rosa, Dela Rosa, Delarosa, etc.
Courses
"E% 2%" will yield ENG 2013, EGR 2103 and any other course where "E" is the first letter of the subject and "2" is the first number of the course.
IT Sustainability Tip
One way to save on electricity is to use a laptop instead of a desktop computer. A desktop generally uses two to four times more power than a laptop. A laptop computer is designed for optimal power consumption.
Accessibility Tip
Did you know that when you send an email that is a JPG with embedded text, the screen readers used by the visually impaired can't read the text? Be sure to include plain text in all your mass emails. For more, visit www.radford.edu/webcomm.
