Dr. Terry Latour Dean of Libraries Collaborative Study & Presentation Rooms Do you need a place to practice a presentation or to work on a group project aided by a computer? Two study rooms on Level A in Carlson Library are equipped with large, flat-screen monitors, computers, and webcams making it easy and more effective for students to work on group projects, or collaborate as a study group. Please keep in mind that the rooms are not sound-proof. Available webcams provide the opportunity to practice, record, and critique presentations, or to involve others in a collaboration via software such as Skype. Technical assistance is available at the nearby S.W.A.T. (Students Who Assist [with] Technology) service desk. A similar, but portable, unit is available in the Charles Suhr Library on the Venango College Campus. This equipment is made possible by Student Technology Fees and the Center for Computing Services.

The S.W.A.T. Minion’sTip: Fax ? A Fax (not to be confused with facts or FAQs) is an image of a document (a facsimile) made by electronic scanning that is transmitted by telecommunication links. Not everyone has a fax machine. Although sending a document by email as an attachment is easy, sometimes it is not acceptable.

An effrontery can also be the action or behavior that was bold, rude, and in-your-face. PART OF SPEECH: Noun. Effrontery is both a countable noun ("an effrontery," "two effronteries," "lots of effronteries") and an uncountable noun ("the effrontery," "such effrontery," "a display of effrontery.") Note: Yes, the "front" in "effrontery" is there for a good reason; it traces back to the Latin word for "brow" (forehead.) People committing effronteries get right in front of you and put their shameless boldness and unwarranted confidence right in your face--or at least it seems that way. HOW TO USE IT: Talk about someone's effrontery, or the effrontery of someone or something, as in "Becky's effrontery" or "the effrontery of Becky's demands." You might say that someone had the effrontery to do something, as in "Steve had the effrontery to ask for a 50% discount because he had to wait in line." You can also talk about effrontery in general, as in "Effrontery will get you nowhere with us" or "You're getting a reputation for effrontery, so cool it." All those examples so far are for the uncountable noun. The countable noun and its plural seem less common. To use them, talk about one effrontery or multiple effronteries, as in "Take your effronteries elsewhere" or "This latest effrontery is the straw that'll break the camel's back." Although we do not “repair” computers, the S.W.A.T. Team (the Students Who Assist [with] Technology) on Level A of Carlson Library is always happy to help. Having an issue? Let us take a swat at it!
