I was not aware of the CLT until Robert Chapman's talk. During orientation week I had seen the bottom floor of the library that contained a media library but had not adventured further to find it. It appears to be a really great resource for any kind of computer and media work. I especially liked the fact that the computers have a bunch of freeware to take and utilize. Other more expensive programs like Pro Tools at our disposal are very exciting too. I thought it seemed like a real chill environment to work in that wasn't too busy. The availability of 14 Macs and 12 PCs makes for a nice balance. Also the 11 scanners provided are good to know about. The fact that the CLT staff is usually ready and able to help with software and equipment is very valuable. It is convenient for the CLT computers to save any work you do on the harddrive unlike other computers on campus. I felt like a lot of the emerging technology ideas on campus arise from here, such as the video chatting system Robert Chapman described. I have chosen to post a picture of the CLT as my people drawing skills are severely lacking. It was not a pretty drawing.
