  New Kaplan Book on Biblical Women Reviewed Favorably in Chicago Jewish Star
  A newly published book, Fruit of Her Hands: A Psychology of Biblical Women, written by Kalman Kaplan, Ph.D., and co-author Matthew Schwartz, was favorably reviewed recently in the Chicago Jewish Star. Reviewer Arnold Ages wrote that the book, which contrasts ancient Greek and Hebrew views of women, “has raised the bar in terms of the analysis of Biblical women. (The authors’) combined scholarship and writing skills have produced a work of outstanding originality, insight, and sensitivity.”

  Policies & Procedures
  Over the next few months we will be providing and implementing Department Electronic, Network, Computing Policies and Procedures. All Department Policies and Procedures will be reviewed and endorsed by the Information Technology Steering Committee (ITSC) prior to presenting to the Department.
  
  Because of our relationship to UIC and College of Medicine there are some Policies we automatically inherit. Two such policies:

  1. Information Security Policy - The University of Illinois
  2. University Guidelines on the Sale, Donation, or Transfer of Computer Hard Drives and Other Magnetic Media
  
  These policies can be found on our web site using the following link: https://intranet.psych.uic.edu/is/ you will be required to “log-in” to access these policies.
  
  We will make both of these policies (along with others forth coming) a part of new employee orientation, but to those of us already in the system we are asking that each of you please take the time to read these policies.
  
  If you have any questions concerning any policy or procedure please contact Lloyd Keith, thank you.
