New Library Lab to Enhance Teaching and Learning

There is a new multimedia creation lab in the library, designed to help students and faculty develop multimedia to assist in teaching and learning activities. Located on the south end of the first floor in the Reference Room, it holds a large bed scanner, several computers with digital imaging and video creation software, audio editing software and some specialized software titles. In addition, we have a video camera and a digital still camera that can be used by students or faculty members who are working in the lab. Already, we've had students working on projects for archives and for the Sprunt Lectures events, and Cindy Kissel-Ito's May term class on Teaching the Bible has students actively using the lab to create materials for their teaching sessions.

Please bear with us as we get up to speed on all the software capabilities. We hope to begin offering training sessions on lab equipment and software in the fall.
