The Jen Library is hosting an Open House next Wednesday May 5th from 3pm to 7pm. We are highlighting areas of our collection specifically for Animation, Sequential Art and Illustration majors. We will have a Special Collections display of Don Bluth works, limited edition graphic , artists books and more. We will also be giving away flip books, buttons and videos that were part of the Bluth donation. The Visual Resource Center will host digital image database demonstrations and the Reference department will be asking both students and faculty for collection suggestions. Learn how the Writers Studio can help you improve writing and communication skills and meet tutors at the Learning Resource Hive. Please join us for our Open House at Jen Library May 5th.

The VRC will be conducting a workshop for SCAD faculty, staff, and students on Friday, April 30, 10:00 a.m. – 11.30 a.m., Jen Library, room 108. The purpose of this session is to highlight the digital resources that are available to faculty and to demonstrate the fundamentals of using ARTstor to find and save images, to download and organize images from the SCAD Digital Image Database (DID), and how to incorporate these images using the ARTstor Offline Image Viewer (OIV) to create class presentations. Participants will also learn how to have images added to the SCAD DID to fill the needs of specific courses and student presentations.

Seating is limited so please email vrc@scad.edu, or call 525-4726 to reserve a spot.

If you cannot attend, but would like to be shown the operations covered in the training sessions, please call or email the VRC to make an appointment for individual training.
