<p>We apologise for the unavailability of Eviews.<br />
We applied for a re-issue of our licence for Eviews in order to update our servers.<br />
However the publishers have ceased to support Eviews 5, forcing us to upgrade to a newer version of Eviews.<br />
We would not normally plan to upgrade during term time, but have no choice at this time.</p>
<p>I, Kenneth, am now lobbying the Heads of Departments to get the go-ahead to buy a new licence.</p>

As a user of University computing and information services it is your

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Dear Colleague,</p>
<p>As a user of University computing and information services it is your<br />
responsibility to be familiar with the IT Code of Practice and the<br />
Regulations on the Use of Computing Facilities.</p>
<p>   * IT Code of Practice - <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.shef.ac.uk/cics/codeofpractice/">http://www.shef.ac.uk/cics/codeofpractice/</a><br />
   * Regulations on the Use of Computing Facilities -<br />
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://calendar.dept.shef.ac.uk/calendar/09_regs_on_the_Use_of_Computing_Facilities.pdf">http://calendar.dept.shef.ac.uk/calendar/09_regs_on_the_Use_of_Computing_Facilities.pdf</a></p>
<p>In particular your attention is drawn to the need for password<br />
security.  It is important, for your own protection and the security<br />
of University systems, that you choose a strong password for your<br />
University account and that you never disclose it to anyone else.  The<br />
University&#8217;s policy on passwords can be found in the IT Code of<br />
Practice; to help you follow this policy please read the web page on<br />
passwords.</p>
<p>   * IT Code of Practice - Section 8. Passwords -<br />
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.shef.ac.uk/cics/codeofpractice/index.html#8">http://www.shef.ac.uk/cics/codeofpractice/index.html#8</a><br />

<p>You are also reminded of the threat posed by phishing.  Phishing<br />
refers to a type of fraud, in which people try to trick you into<br />
revealing your username and password or other information, like bank<br />
details.  You should never respond to an unsolicited request for your<br />
University username and password, whether by phone, email or webpage,<br />
no matter how convincing or intimidating the request may be.  Further<br />
information can be found on the Phishing web page.</p>
<p>   * Phishing - <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.shef.ac.uk/cics/phishing">http://www.shef.ac.uk/cics/phishing</a></p>
<p>If you have any questions or require further information please<br />
contact the CiCS Helpdesk</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>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.</p>
<p>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</p>
<p>There is also an online guide to APA 6 for students which is available on the Library web pages. It can be found at</p>
<p><a href="https://librarydevelopment.group.shef.ac.uk/shef-only/referencing/management_harvard.html">https://librarydevelopment.group.shef.ac.uk/shef-only/referencing/management_harvard.html </a></p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
