What's New in the Library Multimedia Lab?

We have purchased a variety of new equipment to start off the new school year.

Remember, students and faculty can check out camera and other multimedia equipment from the library on a nightly basis for use on school projects.

Take a look at some of our new equipment:

2 Flip HD Slide Camcorders

These camcorders are ideal for capturing quick video. Borrow one from the library to easily film classroom projects and events. Mr. Chase will be glad to help you upload your video to Youtube and embed the clip on your Moodle account.

2 Vixia HD Camcorders

These camcorders capture high quality HD  video, ideal for longer video projects. These camcorders also record to a built-in flash card instead of Mini-DV tapes, so you don't have to worry about accidentally recording over important video! Mr. Chase will be glad to train you on the use of the camcorders.

2 Panasonic Lumix Cameras

These point and shoot cameras come with built-in GPS tracking. These cameras are ideal for field trips where you can capture the exact location of where you took the image. These cameras will be ideal if you want to create Google Map field-trip report.

1 Apple Trackpad

Take a look at this Apple trackpad in the library to see what all the fuss is about. The trackpad brings the Mac laptop's gesture-based trackpad functionality to the Apple desktop.

2 RCA Digital Audio Recorders

These audio recorders make it easy to quickly record audio.  The built-in USB port makes it easy to transfer the audio files to your computer.
