Are you looking for new ways to create your next class presentation? Are you interested in using multimedia tools to design class projects with a difference? Do you just need an outlet to hone your hidden creative talents? NOVA Annandale Library’s Multi-media Center has the equipment and software you need to create websites, videos, sound recordings, presentations, and more. To that end, the Center – located next to the library’s information desk in the CG building room 300 – is stocked with a wide variety of media equipment—such as digital cameras with tripods, video recorders, MP3 players, Kindles, and Edirol sound recorders—to help stoke those creative fires. All you need to do is present your NOVA ID at the information desk to gain access to both the equipment and the software.
