Find out on the following Research Guide

HandHeld Computers : PDAs, Pocket PCs, and iPAQs Research Guide

CD Burners in the MMC & STE Libraries

By popular demand, CD-Burners are now available in both the MMC and STE Library computer labs for burning PowerPoint presentations, digital photographs, or other documents.

Affinity Library Services can provide “occasional” CDRs for people needing 1 or 2 blank CDRs on rare occasions.

Regular users will want to bring their own blank CDRs. Affinity Acquisitions can provide a spindle of 100 CDRs with the stock order # 5001439.
