                                     Cataloging Electronic Resources


         Within the last few years, electronic resources have 
become a prominent, if not the most dominant, means of  
discovery and research for users of all types of libraries.  
Although much of the electronic content for which libraries  
provide access is in the form of electronic journals, there is 
a growing proliferation of databases and indexes that lead  
users directly to full-text content, both serial and monographic. 
The variety of electronic resources and means of accessing 
them has led to discussions regarding cataloging and online 
resource management. Workflow and concomitant staffing  
issues have also become prevalent in the literature as libraries  
adjust to the realities of acquiring and processing these non- 
print materials. Electronic resources have challenged the 
principles and practices of cataloging over the last several 
years. The complex nature of cataloging and the changes  
necessitated by electronic resources have led to the need for 
guides to explain the rules in what may be perceived as more 
“practical” terms.

          Today's special collections environments are increasingly  diverse. They vary significantly with regard to institutional  setting, nature of collections, scope of functions and services,  and audience. A special collections professional may  experience much of this variety over the course of his/her  career, taking on different public and technical service duties, curatorial functions, and management responsibilities. Even those who remain focused on a single functional specialty  within one institution will best contribute to that institution's  vitality and success by developing broad awareness of the full
array of responsibilities that define the field as a whole. We  assume a professional who gradually achieves such general  proficiency over the course of his/her career; full mastery in all  areas, however, is by no means expected.

                           The Office of Weights and Measures

The Office of Weights and Measures promotes uniformity in U.S. weights and measures laws, regulations, and standards to achieve equity between buyers and sellers in the marketplace. This enhances consumer confidence, enables U.S. businesses to compete fairly at home and abroad, and strengthens the U.S. economy.

OWM partners with the National Conference on Weights and Measures (NCWM), an organization of State and local weights and measures officials and representatives of business, industry, consumer groups, and Federal agencies, to develop U.S. standards in the form of uniform laws, regulations, and methods of practice. OWM serves as the U.S. representative to the International Organization of Legal Metrology (OIML) to bring efficiency and cost savings to U.S. manufacturers and other stakeholders doing business overseas, through the promotion of harmonized international standards and regulatory practices.

OWM ensures traceability of state weights and measures standards to the International System of Units (SI); develops procedures for legal metrology tests and inspections, and conducts training for laboratory metrologists and weights and measures officials. OWM provides guidance on the model weights and measures laws and regulations adopted by the NCWM and coordinates the development and publication of key NCWM publications.

It is estimated that sales of products or services impacted by weights and measures laws in the United States represent approximately 50 percent of the U.S. Gross Domestic Product. Industry sectors potentially affected by the decisions of the NCWM include retail food sales, other retail sales, petroleum products, transportation, and chemicals.

The NIST Office of Weights and Measures analyzes weights and measures training needs, obtains input from the weights and measures community, designs and delivers training for laboratory metrologists and weights and measures officials, measures the impact and effectiveness of training to ensure ongoing continual improvement, and consults with the weights and measures community to ensure ongoing professional development.

                                      E-mail Spoofing

           E-mail spoofing is the forgery of an e-mail header so that  the message appears to have originated from someone or  somewhere other than the actual source. Distributors of spam  often use spoofing in an attempt to get recipients to open,  and possibly even respond to, their solicitations. Spoofing can  be used legitimately. However, spoofing anyone other than  yourself is illegal in some jurisdictions.
           E-mail spoofing is possible because Simple Mail Transfer  Protocol (SMTP), the main protocol used in sending e-mail,  does not include an authentication mechanism. Although  an SMTP service extension (specified in IETF RFC 2554)  allows an SMTP client to negotiate a security level with a mail
server, this precaution is not often taken. If the precaution is  not taken, anyone with the requisite knowledge can connect  to the server and use it to send messages. To send spoofed  e-mail, senders insert commands in headers that will alter  message information. It is possible to send a message that
appears to be from anyone, anywhere, saying whatever the  sender wants it to say. Thus, someone could send spoofed  e-mail that appears to be from you with a message that you  didn't write.
          Although most spoofed e-mail falls into the “nuisance" category and requires little action other than deletion, the  more malicious varieties can cause serious problems and  security risks. For example, spoofed e-mail may purport  to be from someone in a position of authority, asking for  sensitive data, such as passwords, credit card numbers, or  other personal information – any of which can be used for a  variety of criminal purposes. One type of e-mail spoofing, self- sending spam, involves messages that appear to be both to  and from the recipient.

Why Millennials Don’t Like Credit Cards
by Holly Johnson
Cheap, easy credit might have been tempting to young people in the past, but not to today’s millennials. According to a recent survey by Bankrate of over 1,161 consumers, 63% of adults ages 18 to 29 live without a credit card of any kind, and another 23% only carry one card.
The Impact of the Great Recession
Research shows that the environment millennials grew up in might have an impact on their finances.
Unlike other generations, millennials lived through economic hardships during a time when their adult lives were beginning. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the Great Recession caused millennials to stray from historic patterns when it comes to purchasing a home and having children, and a fear of credit cards could be another symptom of the economic environment of the times.
And there’s much data when it comes to proving that millennials grew up on shaky economic ground.
The Pew Research Center reports that 36% of millennials lived at home with their parents in 2012. Meanwhile, the unemployment rate for people ages 16 to 24 was 14.2% (more than twice the national rate) in early 2014, according to the BLS. With those figures, it’s no wonder that millennials are skittish when it comes to credit cards. It makes sense that young people would be afraid to take on any new forms of debt.
A Generation Plagued with Student Loan Debt
But the Great Recession isn’t the only reason millennials could be fearful of credit. Many experts believe that the nation’s student loan debt level might be related to it. According to the Institute for College Access & Success, 71% of millennials (or 1.3 million students) who graduated from college in 2012 left school with at least some student loan debt, with the average amount owed around $29,400.
With so much debt already under their belts, millennials are worried about adding any credit card
debt to the pile. After all, many adults with student loan debt need to make payments for years, and even decades.
How Millennials Can Build Credit Without a Credit Card
The fact that millennials are smart enough to avoid credit card debt is a good thing, but that doesn’t mean the decision has its drawbacks. According to Experian, most adults need a positive credit history in order to qualify for an auto loan or mortgage. Even worse, having no credit history is almost as bad as having a negative credit history in some cases.
Still, there are plenty of ways millennials can build a credit history without a credit card. A few tips:
    • Make payments on installment loans on time. Whether it’s a car loan, student loan or personal loan, make sure to mail in those payments on time and pay at least the minimum amount required.
    • Put at least one household or utility bill in your name. Paying your utility or household bills on time can help you build a positive credit history.
    • Get a secured credit card. Unlike traditional credit cards, the funds secured credit cards offer are backed by money the user deposits.
Signing up for a secured card is one way to build a positive credit history without any risk.
The fact that millennials are leery of credit cards is probably a good thing in the long run. After all, not having a credit card is the perfect way to stay out of credit card debt. Even though it might be harder to build a credit history without credit cards, the vast majority of millennials have decided that the plastic just isn’t worth it.
