END OF ANOTHER SEMESTER

I just want to wish all students "good luck" on your finals next week.

Since it is the end of the semester, all books, videos, DVDs,etc. that students have checked out are due back tomorrow (April 30th). This gives the library staff time to send out reminders to those students who have forgotten that they have items checked out from the library.

Have a good summer and see you next Fall!

Computer Tips

These are some of the common computer questions that we receive in the computer lab of the library.

1) HOW MANY PRINTS DO I HAVE LEFT?
Now that it is getting to the end of the semester, as students you might be wondering how many "prints" you have left from the 500 that you started out with at the first of the semester. To find out, log into a campus computer and hover your mouse over the black $ in the lower right hand column of the screen. This number is how many pages you have left that you can print.

2) HOW CAN I PRINT MORE THAN ONE SLIDE PER PAGE IN POWERPOINT?
When printing out slides from PowerPoint presentations it is possible to print anywhere from 1 to 9 slides per page. To print more than one per page, click on Print, than in the print menu on the lower left change it from "slides" to "handouts," then in the center change the number for "slides per page" to the number of slides you want printed on each page.

3) CAN I PRINT SOMETHING OUT IN COLOR?
When you want to print in color, just select the HP4600 printer in the print menu. Just remember it will cost you 5 prints from your balance for every color page printed.I hope this answers a few of your questions.

Good luck with the rest of the semester!
