Getting the color printer to print in color...again

Hello!

People seem to be having the same problem of getting the color printer to actually print in color.  If this happens, please go to the start menu and then select "devices and printer."  Right click over the reference color printer and select printer properties.  Click on "device settings" and scroll all the way to the bottom to "device type" and change it to "color." Click apply and then ok.

Let me know if you have any questions or if this doesn't fix it.

Thanks!
Heidi

Wordless Picture Books

Students in one of the Education classes currently have an assignment that requires them to find a "wordless picture book."  As we've had this request a number of times, and since they are not particularly easy to find in CardinalCat, I have created a list of the ones that I am aware of.  If you go to Research By Subject>Education>Children's Books About..., you will now see a link for Wordless Picture Books.  I can't guarantee that this is all of them, but these are all that I am aware of in our collection!

Instructional Media Tidbits

We have recently learned that a professor is telling their students that they can get card readers from Tom for their assignments.  They cannot.  In Carnegie the computers have card readers, you can send them there.  Secondly, another professor is telling students they can get actual film cameras from Tom.  Tom doesn't have these so just send them away.  Talk to Tom if you have any questions.

Archives Student Assistant Applications

Kim is now accepting applications for an Archives Student Assistant. There is a link to the description and application in the library's latest blog post, as well as on the Archives' website. Please note that the application can be filled out electronically or printed, so there may be students dropping paper applications off at the ISD until the position is filled.

If a student drops an application off, please put it in Kim's mailbox.
