Scanners, picture enhancement, tech training, digital cameras, MSOffice 2000 support and CD Burners are just a few of the items you will find in each of the Library’s Faculty Production Labs.

These labs were set up to give faculty and staff access to many of the tools necessary in the development of their educational presentations.  

These presentations may be in the form of traditional color or B/W transparencies, computer based presentations with MS PowerPoint, or web-based presentations using interactive web pages or enhancing your class with email, discussion groups or quizzes using WebCT.

The IMS Presentation Support Specialists are available to assist you in creating your presentations. These support specialists have set up 30 minute training sessions, called Bits and Bytes.  These training sessions are geared to introducing you to the varied presentation development tools.
