This week, on the BIG screen...


The Ritz Library has recently installed LG flat panel TV screens in two of our group study rooms. Students who have a Mac or Windows laptop can now, when studying in a group, display any resources they have in electronic format.

Windows laptop owners can connect to the TV with a VGA cable available at the Circulation Desk; when you want to sign out the room, just tell the Circ staff that you have a Windows laptop and they will provide you with the proper cable.

Mac owners will need to specify which cable adapter they need depending on the age of your Mac. Show your Mac to the Circ staff and they should be able to determine which cable you'll need.
