A note on e-reserves

Ethics stuff on hold. Work today. Hitchens tomorrow. No time.

In other news, I hacked the library e-reserves. Or rather, I figured out all the passwords. It’s just the first three letters of the professor’s name and then the course number (not the department number). What’s hilarious is that I thought I’d have to search through the course catalog for numbers and stuff, but all the information is on the e-reserve page. Supposedly, they introduced the passwords to further protect the copyrights of academics. If I were an obscure academic, though, I’d rather have more people reading my work. Kidding.

Maybe they don’t need passwords even a moron can figure out.

Note to self: Do other schools have the same e-reserves system?
