We need your help! EDUCAUSE has released surveys for two of its publications: the bimonthly general-interest magazine EDUCAUSE Review and the peer-reviewed quarterly journal EQ. To help us determine content for future issues of the two publications, we would (really) appreciate your filling out either or both of these (super) short surveys here: EDUCAUSE Review http://survey.educause.edu/ertoc081/ and EQ http://survey.educause.edu/eqtoc081/. We look forward to learning what is important to you so that we can provide the information you need and the articles you'll want to read. Thanks!

The EDUCAUSE/Internet2 Computer and Network Security Task Force, the National Cyber Security Alliance, and ResearchChannel are pleased to announce the winning entries for the 2007 Computer Security Awareness Video Contest conducted by the Security Task Force to raise awareness of and increase computer security at colleges and universities.

The contest sought videos that explain computer security problems and specific actions that college and university students can take to safeguard their computers or personal information, and had two categories of videos: two-minute-or-less training or instructional videos, and 30-second public service announcements. The videos can be used in campus security awareness campaigns during student orientation and throughout the year.
