Surviving the VHS Apocalypse and Thriving in the Stream

universeLITE SESSION:
Surviving the VHS Apocalypse and Thriving in the Stream
February 7, 2013
3pm – 4:20pm
Addlestone Room 120

The end is near.  VHS and analog video media are going the way of the 8-track player, the Sony Walkman, and very wide ties.  And although very wide ties can sometimes be retrofitted to work in a pinch, the sun is setting on analog video forever.  What does it all mean?  How will you survive?  What will you do?  Where will you go?  Answer:  No worries.  Let some kind library folk offer you calm, inspired encouragement.  We can show you how to survive this VHS apocalypse.  We can show you how to thrive in the bright future beyond.

Joey Van Arnhem and Jared Seay, self-described “humans in a sea of technological change,” will host this LITE session that both explains the end of VHS and the possibilities in streaming video services that the library offers as the way to the video future.

You will find out answers to the video apocalypse like:

How will I live without a VHS player?  What about my beloved VHS tapes? Are all the VHS players on campus really going away forever?  What will happen to all of those library VHS tapes?  Why can’t somebody just make DVD copies of my precious VHS tapes?  Is digital really less fattening than analog?

Then, you will find out everything you need to know about Addlestone Video Collections like:

How do I search for videos?  What is the difference between the SGA video collection and the Teaching video collection?  How do I reserve a video?  How do I stream library videos?  How can I use it to teach or embed videos into my OAKs class?  Can I really create playlists and edit segments and chapters of streaming videos?  Do digital librarians dream of electric sheep?

Be the first on your block to ease your fear and learn to thrive through the Video Apocalypse.  Register online at the link below.

LITE Session: What’s New in PowerPoint 2010

Posted on by

What’s New in PowerPoint 2010:  Being an introduction as to how to use the new PowerPoint and by so doing start down the road to presentation awesomeness.

Thursday, February 3 at 3pm
Addlestone Room 120

PowerPoint, SchmowerPoint.  So, what’s the big deal with the new PowerPoint 2010 anyway?  Come find out how the new Office 2010 product has become much more than a helpful rearranging of buttons and the addition of a festive ribbon. In this first Addlestone LITE session of the semester we will give an overview (and hands-on) of the new capabilities of PowerPoint 2010 and how you can use them to more easily create presentations and  enrich them with video, graphics, and animations.  Also, learn how to more easily distribute your presentations with file compression and video creation (easily, really).

Register here, then dress casual, and show up smiling.
