About TLC
At the TLC we're all about comfort. We want you to be
comfortable with your technology and we want you to be
comfortable while you're spending time with us.
We're here to help you learn how to use the latest
software applications and technologies at your own pace,
any time, anywhere. Attend one of our workshops, stop by
for one-on-one help, or just come hang out in one of our
really comfy study areas.
We have four smart study rooms scattered throughout the
library. Whether you're meeting with the other members
of your group to work on your big project, studying on
your own, or preparing and practicing a presentation you
can hang out in a room full of technological possibilities
and comfortable furniture.
cut the apron string
Sometimes you just don't want to leave your house to study.
Maybe you're a night owl who is most productivelong after
the sun goes down and most people are asleep. Or perhaps
you live a little too far from the library - like on the other
side of the planet.
Whatever excuse you come up with for not visiting us in
person, you don't have an excuse not to visit us online. Think of the Virtual Technology Learning Center as
the facebook or MySpace of education. You can conduct
research, chat with other students with similar research
interests or catch up on what developments are being made
in your field of interest. Sound a little more nerdy than
your typical virtual community? Maybe.
And the VTLC offers online video tutorials on more
than 100 software programs, so if you've put off
finishing an assignment until the
very last minute, you can still
learn how to use the programs
you need to get it done.
Don't hide on the sidelines
like a luddite. Be as creative as you want to be. Let yourself go.
Don't be scared of your computer. Don't be afraid to stand out
amongst your peers.
We offer all sorts of opportunities to explore your imagination.
Hang out in our computer lab with wireless standard software
& hardware or one of the smart study rooms.
Throughout the year we'll be offer workshops over anything
you can imagine - blogging, podcasting, Adobe's Creative Suite,
creating movies... If we're not offering what you need, ask for
it. And, because we aim to please, we offer individual learning
sessions just in case you learn better in one-to-one situations or
if you can't wait for a workshop.
become the next Spielberg
It can get expenseve being a creative genius. Lucky for you, we
have a bunch of cool stuff you can borrow from us including
- laptops
- cameras
- microphones
- scanners
- digital pens
- portable interactive white boards
Or maybe your genius requires your owning some of these
devices or special software. We can help with that, too. And we
can usually help you get a discount.
We even offer the basic stuff for the non-geniuses. Take care of
all your printing, scanning and copying needs at our desk. And
you can consider us the one-stop shop for stuff like software,
discs, and flash drives. And if we don't have it, we'll help you
find it. `Cause we're just good like that.
