New Projection Screens in Himmelfarb!

Do you like to gather in small groups to work on projects using your laptop, but find it hard for everyone to see what is on the screen? Himmelfarb Library has just outfitted study rooms 304A-K on the 3rd floor with 42" wall-mounted LCD monitors that will project your laptop image for easier viewing by all.

Simply check out a VGA cable (for connecting your laptop to the monitor) and a remote control from the 3rd Floor Bloedorn Technology Center Help Desk and you can easily display your monitor's image to others in the room. If no one is available at the Help Desk, ask someone at the 1st Floor Circulation Desk to assist you.
