Synopsis

What are the best ways to make your library secure in the electronic age? This handbook provides the answers, including library-tested security and anti-virus software. The guide covers: keeping patrons from inadvertently altering the Windows operating environment; blocking unauthorized access to programmes and files; protecting against computer viruses; deterring hackers from breaking into Windows 3.X and Windows 95 computers; preventing computers and peripherals from being stolen with anti-theft devices; writing security policy and managing it day-to-day; protecting against Internet attacks; implementing backup procedures; disaster recovery; reviewing and installing security systems for MS-DOS and windows; and hard drive maintenance. The package includes carefully selected and field-tested, hacker-resistant shareware and freeware programs complete with instructions on when - and how - to use and install them. These will enable your library to: encrypt and decrypt your e-mail and all files (including word processing files) dealing with confidential or sensitive matters like personnel; shred unwanted files so they can't be restored; create backups of important files; crack forgotten screen saver and CMOS passwords; secure your Windows 3.X and Windows 95 PCs with menu systems, generate and encrypt passwords; and edit executable files so certain program systems can be disabled.
