Microsoft PowerPoint presentations are “plug and play”. Please keep in mind that use of non-standard type styles or non-optimized images and graphics in presentations will cause a decrease in performance.

The computer has installed an open office application allowing access to common word processing file types (such as MS Word), spreadsheet files (such as MS Excel), as well as to PowerPoint files.

Limited instruction in the use of our equipment is available from library staff during regular hours.

Please note that equipment and Internet performance may be limited by many factors. Network speed may vary dependent on use in our public areas and the speed and availability of the locations outside our building that you are accessing via the Internet. Wireless networks are not secure; it is recommended that confidential materials not be accessed over this connection.
