Spice Up Final Presentations With Prezi

This presentation software is available at http://prezi.com/, and it may be able to turn those presentation frowns upside down! This software goes beyond the traditional "slide show" format allowing users to place text, images, and video on a blank digital canvas. Once media and text are in place, users can "travel" from one idea to the next zooming in and out as they go. This format allows for more flexibility and creativity with presentations and could be the cure to the "slide show" doldrums. Free accounts are available and a short how-to video is all you need to get started.

Room 110 Now Open for Quiet Study

Room 110 on the first floor of the library (the library instruction classroom) is open for quiet study from now until the end of the semester.
