CLT: The hidden treasure of Trinity's Library

Wow! I was so impressed by the presentation Mr. Chapman made of the facilities down in the dungeon of our own library. It was rather ironic that we toured CLT when we did, because just days prior I had visited resource center to watch a film for my Spanish class. Although I had merely watched a DVD on one of the nice wide screens, I had been very interested in what other resources were available. Unfortunately, I wasn't adventurous enough to ask or even explore myself the programs available so I left CLT with only a small scope of what it offers to us students. After our tour and presentation however, I realized that CLT is an excellent place for students of all skill levels to be introduced to new programs, gain experience, or even perfect their skills. I was especially pleased to learn that the technicians that work in CLT are so friendly and eager to help students that have perhaps never worked with any of the programs. As of right now, I think that CLT offers for me personally a quiet study place, and a center for watching films on large screens, but I hope that as I spend more time down there I will have the opportunity to explore the myriad of programs they have. I was especially interested in the film editing programs that are on the computers because my floormates and I are preparing to record a video, yet we have no experience with editing. Furthermore, I know that over the course of my four years here at Trinity I am bound to have other assignments that will most definitely require speciality programs like those available in CLT. My goal is to gain some experience with these programs before being assigned a project that requires them so I will have some sort of comfort level with them. Look out Robert Chapman! I'm going to be coming in and asking for some expert help!
