Q. Can we have a DropBox app installed on PCs or Macs at the library? It is just more convenient to work in the app rather than download and re-upload files every time. Thanks!

A. I raised your question with computing services, who have ultimate authority over what appears on our lab PCs.

Unfortunately the feeling is that installing DropBox would suggest SFU is implicitly endorsing a service that enable students to store what could be considered private data on servers outside of Canada, potentially violating FIPPA legislation.

Q. Hi
I am a grad student in applied science and i am looking for this book : "digital processing of synthetic aperture radar: algorithms and implementation" by Cumming, Ian G. It would be highly appreciated if you could buy this book in your closest convenience.

A. Thank you for your book request. I have ordered a copy of this book on demand for you, so you will be notified by email when it is ready for pick-up.

Sincerely,
Yolanda
