Guide to Using USB Drives at SUNY Cortland

On the Information Resources Website, there is link to a PDF guide to Using USB Drives at SUNY Cortland

You should review this guide BEFORE you purchase one. Please note, we are starting to see users having problems using their usb drives on the campus computers because certain brands of usb drives require drivers or backup programs to be installed on Windows computers. (Macs will ignore the software and do not experience this problem). That means they will not work on the authenticated machines on campus.  Keep this in mind before you make your purchase.

Also, you should be aware that users have 200 MB of storage space on the network, which they can access from any computer on campus. Just log in using your network id, then open ‘my computer’. The ‘Username on Shares: U:’ drive is listed here

Photoshop Requests?

Last month I offered a ‘Photoshop Basics’ workshop, and it was very well received.  During these workshops, there were requests for further, more specific, Photoshop workshops. So, I added the ‘Photoshop Series’ to the calendar, starting with ‘Working with Layers’ and ‘Formatting Text.’

Would anyone else like to make a suggestion for a Photoshop workshop?  I’ve had one request for a ‘Photo Retouching’ workshop.

If you have a request, email me at dotyblancet@cortland.edu

iLife Training Available

Over the next few weeks, and before the Spring Semester, I will be offering several iLife applications workshops. If you are interested in joining the iTunesU program, these workshops will be an excellent starting point.  More specifically, you will have the opportunity to learn how to convert your lecture materials to online, portable media. 

Below are the workshops scheduled between now and Christmas break.  I should have January’s calendar on line by the end of the week.  If you have any questions, feel free to <a href=”mailto:dotyblancet@cortland.edu”>email me</a> or you can reach me at 753-4056.
