The CLT

The CLT (Center for Learning and Technology) is housed in a lower level of the library. It's got a ton of glossy Macs and sleek video gadgets...almost like a tech. batcave. The staffers manage both electronic classrooms and TV systems across campus. They also instruct teachers in technological matters. So much power. Let's hope they use it responsibly.
Wonder where multimedia materials on campus are produced? Video equipment is managed? To go to loan out a video camera? That's right! The CLT (Cave of Learning and Technology).
Students are free to get a hold on these resources in addition to faculty. Video equipment, study rooms, and staff help are available. But be on your toes because you may need to reserve some ahead of time (more information at http://www.trinity.edu/departments/clt/about_clt/about.htm ).
An opportunity for me to utilize the CLT has already arisen. My Arabic teacher desires DVDs of her pupils speaking her native tongue in a couple social situations, trouble is I forgot my video camera and DVD formatting equipment at home. Before discovering the CLT I thought myself in a fix, but all I need for the assignment (except mastery of Arabic) is there. Assuming everything goes smoothly with that I'll probably return to burn some movies illegally. I'm kidding obviously...no one does that.
