On the Information Resources Website, there is link to a PDF guide to Using USB Drives at SUNY Cortland

You should review this guide BEFORE you purchase one. Please note, we are starting to see users having problems using their usb drives on the campus computers because certain brands of usb drives require drivers or backup programs to be installed on Windows computers.
