Now available for check out is a growing collection of Lynda.com technology training videos on CD-ROM. Ranging from 2 to 20 hours each, and including sample files for you to work along with, these videos are like classrooms in a box. While that kind of time commitment may sound daunting, it's easy to jump around between chapters. I've already learned a lot from them, even about programs I've been using for years. Look for more (including FrontPage) in our Media Browsing Room in the weeks to come.

In light of recent news from Cuba, you may be interested in checking out the excellent PBS biographical film, Fidel Castro. Thanks to the partnership between PBS & NCLive that we announced last month, we now have access to it and many other PBS documentaries online. You can also check out the DVD from our media collection.

Watch online.

Find the DVD.

In order to make room for our growing collection of DVD films, we have flagged 225 VHS films as candidates for withdrawal. These films meet one of the following criteria:

a) we have them on DVD;
b) we are in the process of replacing them on DVD; or
c) they don't fit our collection/support the curriculum

Review the list. Send any comments to sinclair(at)unca.edu.
