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.
Here are some free fax services available online:

Cranial Candy:Word OfTheWeek
effrontery
PRONUNCIATION:
if RUNT uh ree
MEANING:
Effrontery is boldness that is both rude and
intrusive.
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!
