Identity thieves are often highly skilled, but taking a few basic precautions will increase your chance to avoid becoming a victim by making it difficult for them to get the information they need. The University has a signed agreement with Shred-It for the secure destruction of confidential documents. Hesburgh Library has two (2) 32 gallon locked bins placed near the Circulation/Reserve Desk for you to use to put documents that are of sensitive nature. Shred bins will be emptied periodically, and the contents will be shredded on-site by Shred-It. This is a service provided by the University, and there is no charge for participating in this program. For more information regarding the program please see https://www3.nd.edu/~records/shred.htm, or to request a bin, please contact Mary Rose Nowicki in the University Archives at 574-631-9354, or Mary.Nowicki.16@nd.edu.
