E-Mail Use in the Resource Area

Use of Flash Drives in the Resource Areas
Technology is changing and flash drives are rapidly replacing floppies. Therefore, we are allowing the use of flash drives in the Resource Area. Flash drives can be scanned for viruses just like floppies, so offices that actively scan drives/floppies/disks prior to use in machines will also scan flash drives.
General Policy
Protecting these resources for job seeker use is serious business. Staff monitors appropriate use of the computers, and will require users to respect computer maintenance practices that preserve equipment, such as scanning. Intentional misuse of the internet, the computer, printer, or any equipment will result in the loss of privileges and/or criminal charges. As with other public access sources for the internet, the WorkForce Center assumes no responsibility for the quality or accuracy of any Internet resource, or for any damage, direct or indirect, that users or anyone else may experience through WorkForce Center access to the Internet.
