The library now has a new multimedia computer lab for students! Located in the IMC (Lib32), the lab is equipped with software/hardware for audio/video – recording/editing, media extraction and image manipulation. Students can also checkout laptops, camcorders, projectors and more to capture and display media.
In addition to headphones, projectors, DVD players, speakers, and screens, you can now check out laptops and camcorders from the IMC. Laptops check out until the end of the day (midnight Sun-Thur, 6p Fri, 5p Sat) and are for library use only. Camcorders check out for 3 days. If you would like to ensure availability of any IMC resource, email Jim Holmes.
The Paley Center iCollection has over 15,000 full-length video programs. The collection is focused largely on the performing arts and history, covering a span of almost 100 years in 70 countries. Please send any feedback to Jim Holmes.

Seniors, contribute your thesis to the searchable eTheses archive in Reed Digital Collections at: http://cdm.reed.edu/cdm4/etheses/. Contributing to the eTheses archive is completely voluntary, and your PDF will not replace the two printed library copies, which remain mandatory. Access to the eTheses archive is currently limited to Reed students, faculty, and staff. If the collection is ever made available on the open web, we will not include your thesis unless you have given us permission to do so.
The eTheses archive was started in 2009, as the result of a proposal brought to the Library Board by the Reed Students for Free Culture. Visitors to the site can browse, search, and download theses. To add your thesis, visit the archive and click the “Submit Your Thesis” button.
Please direct any questions to: etheses@lists.reed.edu.

Leslie Scalapino ’66 is acclaimed as one of America’s most innovative poets who has more than 40 published works to her name that span poetry, prose, prose-poems, and plays from the mid-1970s through 2011. Forty of her works along with her Reed thesis are now on display.
We’re jumping on the shop/eat/drink/play/stay local bandwagon with this month’s feature – “watch local”. This list of films includes those with local ties to writers, directors, actors and film locales in and around Portland. “Video” in the call# means VHS tape – those old giant tapes that your parents used to watch. And remember you can borrow projectors, screens, VCRs and DVD players if you’d like to host your own local film fest.
Watch Local
