Library Survivor workshops are intended to teach information literacy and technology literacy skills outside of class time. All workshops are held in Library Classroom B; no registration is required. To encourage attendance, many professors offer extra credit to students who participate. At each workshop, the presenter passes around a sign-in sheet and then e-mails the students’ names to the appropriate professors to confirm attendance.

Library Survivor: Powerpoint 2007 Overview Presented by Cliff Dumais from Academic Technologies
This overview class is designed to expose new and advanced users alike to some of the new features of PowerPoint 2007 with hands-on exercises in building a PowerPoint presentation utilizing some of the new functionality in the 2007 version such as SmartArt and Themes. We will also review the basics of the new Office 2007 interface (Office button, ribbon, Quick Access Toolbar, Live Preview, et al) and discuss the new document formats. If you have never used PowerPoint before and want to learn some of what it can do, this session is great for you, but even if you feel you already know this program, and are waiting for a more advanced class, please consider attending this section as well just to brush-up on your skills and see some of the new features in action.
* Tuesday, Sept. 22, 11:00 am - 12:15 pm
Library Survivor: Powerpoint 2007 Just Beyond the Basics Presented by Cliff Dumais from Academic Technologies
Picking up where the PowerPoint Overview class left off this session will delve into slide transitions and animations, using and customizing the new Office 2007 Themes, and a cursory overview of the power of slide masters. We will go more in depth into the new SmartArt graphics as well as adding sound and video to your presentations. The session will also include more on pictures and clip-art and explore some of the basics of implementing tables and charts in your slides. We will not directly cover the basics of PowerPoint, nor the user-interface (Office button, the ribbon, Quick Access Toolbar, et al), so a prerequisite for this class is to already be familiar and comfortable with these features and tools. Come prepared to work as this is not a lecture but rather a hands-on experience.
* Thursday, Sept. 24, 11:00 am - 12:15 pm
