Libraries Provide Security

ComputerWorld ran an article today by Robert McMillan which detailed how crooks are placing ads on popular web sites. These advertisements contain hidden code that takes control of the researcher’s computer. As library resources have few (if any) advertisements, researchers who use library databases should be less susceptible to attack. Just another reason students should not confine their research just to using Google.
