After visiting CLT on the first floor of the Trinity University library this morning, I was very surprised to learn about the technology available to Trinity students. Prior to this field trip, I did not even know where or what CLT was. CLT provides every technological resource you can think of: scanners, videoediting and audioediting software, devices to convert videotapes to DVDs and tapes to CDs, and programs for graphic and web design. You can even check out a camera or videocamera here. The staff is always willing to help students use the equipment and computer programs, so even if you don't know how to use these resources, you can learn.
The services that CLT offers would be useful in CS 1300 when we start creating webpages. It would be fun to add creative graphics, sound, and videos to our webpage to make the site high-quality and visually appealing. I might also use CLT for my First Year Seminar class because I have to give a presentation on the pseudoscience of graphology, and I think using the scanner to upload pictures of various handwriting samples would be a great way to visually display my examples of topic in a slideshow.
