 We have been told for years how bad it is to use the same password for more than one account, as anyone who acquires that password will then have access to more of your data/information. Yet, I am sure we are all sick and tired of coming up with new passwords and then trying to remember them. There has been a solution out there for a while now - but is it truly safe?
A password manager is a program that stores all of your passwords in a secure/encrypted place on your computer/device. These programs will enter the password for you at the website. Some even create passwords for you so you don't have to fret over coming up with another new one. They are the random kind, which are much more secure than what people usually come up with. Here is a great SCLS blog post about it: https://scls.typepad.com/techbits/2019/03/random-passwords.html This sort of fully automated system sounds pretty sweet, but it is not perfect...  TechSoup is hosting a webinar, 5 Things Every Nonprofit Needs to Consider About Its Website, on Tuesday, April 23, 2019. This webinar will walk you through five things that every nonprofit should consider about its website and will give practical advice on how to make yours better.
Reminder to NFLS member libraries: For assistance with your library's website (big or small), please contact Lori Baumgart. She is the new Marketing, Communications and CE Specialist at Nicolet Federated Library System and is ready to help!

Here are just a few things that will be discussed:
Invitation from Hannah Bunting, the Membership Coordinator at WLA:
 NFLS is offering a 2019 $300 scholarship opportunity to its library members who wish to attend WLA's Leadership Development Institute Scheduled August 7-9, 2019 at the Madison Public Library.
Scholarship grant application forms are due May 15, 2019.  Grant funds are to be used in the areas of Workforce Development, Lifelong Learning, and/or Technology. Collaboration with other libraries is encouraged, but not necessary.
This grant is a onetime only grant, available to NFLS member libraries. Sustainability for any projects started with I&I grant funding should be considered and accounted for in the recipient library’s budget. Upon completion of the grant project, recipients will be required to give a brief report to the NFLS Advisory Committee of Librarians and work with NFLS on a short publicity presentation. Grant application forms are due June 3, 2019.  WiscNet staff will be on the road through September at various locations in Wisconsin holding listening sessions on the topic of security. At each stop, a local WiscNet member will share what security means and looks like in their organization, where they’re at on their security journey, what problems they’re trying to solve, and what they still need to learn. This is your chance to hear from each other, to share what’s going on in your own worlds, and connect face-to-face with others in your community. WiscNet staff will be at the Brown County Library on Thursday, August 1, 2019.
