—Update 24 OCT 2011 Eviews is available again—
We apologise for the unavailability of Eviews.
We applied for a re-issue of our licence for Eviews in order to update our servers.
However the publishers have ceased to support Eviews 5, forcing us to upgrade to a newer version of Eviews.
We would not normally plan to upgrade during term time, but have no choice at this time.
I, Kenneth, am now lobbying the Heads of Departments to get the go-ahead to buy a new licence.
A colleague recently asked me how to check whether or not she will be free to attend a meeting from the invite. (You can click the images below to expand.)
There are two ways:
a) if you are using an email client (e.g. Outlook, Thunderbird) Click on “More Options >” in the message
and you will see the Google Calendar in the web view.
Then Click on “Find a Time” and you will see the proposeed meeting ghosted over your calendar at the suggested time
2) If you use the web interface for reading your mail, you will notice (in your inbox) a calendar icon between the subject and the date click this to see a usefully laid out invite which includes your agenda items around the proposed event

In particular your attention is drawn to the need for password
security. It is important, for your own protection and the security
of University systems, that you choose a strong password for your
University account and that you never disclose it to anyone else. The
University’s policy on passwords can be found in the IT Code of
Practice; to help you follow this policy please read the web page on
passwords.

refers to a type of fraud, in which people try to trick you into
revealing your username and password or other information, like bank
details. You should never respond to an unsolicited request for your
University username and password, whether by phone, email or webpage,
no matter how convincing or intimidating the request may be. Further
information can be found on the Phishing web page.

Students,
If you want to buy your own copy of Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2007, you can get it for <£50
from our lovely partners at PUGH
Student open access printers are currently not working, in this building and other buildings. CiCS have been informed.
In order to run BPP/EQL software on MOLE from your PC, you will need to install Macromedia Authorware.
However, you should download and install Mozilla Firefox as your internet browser first (this is because part-way through the installation of Macromedia Authorware, you will be prompted to select a Netscape-compatible browser).
Next, download and install Authorware.
Using Firefox, log in to MOLE, and run the BPP/EQL software.
If you are prompted to install Authorware again, do so and restart Firefox.

Here’s how:
It is School policy that students should use the Harvard Method of Bibliographic referencing and in particular the version specified by the American Psychological Association (APA). The sixth edition of the Publication Manual of APA has recently been published.
All the School Handbooks (UG, MSc and MBA) have an appendix giving details of how to use APA and these have been updated for the sixth edition. Second and Third year students should check their handbooks (via Mole) for updates
There is also an online guide to APA 6 for students which is available on the Library web pages. It can be found at
https://librarydevelopment.group.shef.ac.uk/shef-only/referencing/management_harvard.html
As APA6 is the standard for students in the School I suggest that it is not helpful to ask students to use a different variation of the Harvard method.
All new students receive a copy of the Handbook. Handbooks are also placed on the MOLE level websites for UG students and continuing students will be sent an e-mail advising them of the updating of the UG Handbook.
To access your filestore (U Drive, M Drive Etc) off campus, you can use the My Filestore application in MUSE.
For more info see: http://www.shef.ac.uk/cics/muse/myfilestore.html
and for a quick reminder: http://www.shef.ac.uk/emits/help/muse/Myfilestore.pdf
Please be aware that the following is an example of a scam.
Cics will NEVER ask for your username and password.
