eDITING StationsThe Editing Station rooms are rooms to produce, view, or listen to materials. These rooms are available to any current CNU student, faculty, staff or alumni. Arrangements for use of the production/performance stations can be made with the Media Center staff. Each Editing Suite computer has different applications available to the user. For more information, please see our editing station guidelines & editing station computing applications.
In addition to the Editing Suites, use our 8 thin clients and 2 rich clients to produce documents and web browse.
Group Viewing RoomGroup activities and assignments are an integral part of many courses. Students often have to scramble to find a room equipped with the technologies that allow them to view or listen to multimedia in a private group setting.
In order to meet the growing multimedia needs of student groups, the Trible Library Media Center has created a new, private group viewing room. The group viewing room, which accommodates between 2-9 students, has a 55" plasma and a DVD player.
