Saving Files on CTL Computers

When creating and editing files at school, ALWAYS save your work in one of the two places:

1. On a personal flash drive or USB.
2. To the Student Share Network drive.

If you save your work anywhere else, it will be deleted anytime the computer shuts down and restarts.

To save your work to Student Share, follow these steps:

1. Click "Save As" in whatever program you are using.
2.  On the left hand side, scroll down until you find Computer. Select either Student Share drive.

      

3. You may create a folder for yourself if you choose. Then click "Save."

Using Reserve Books

Can I take this book to my class?

Reserve books are your class textbooks available for in-library use only. These books are for the entire Windward community, so keeping them in the library ensures that everyone has access to them.

Check the book out using the Self-Checkout, even though you will be inside the library. This helps us in the CTL keep track of the book. You may make photocopies if you need the information in class.

The CTL also has a Take-Out section. These are extra textbooks that may be checked out for one week. 

Checking Out Cameras and Technology

How long can I check this camera out for?

• A/V equipment from the First Floor Research Center (Flip cameras, Gorillapods) can be checked out for 1 week.
• Cameras and Tripods from the Lower Level Media Commons can be checked out for 1 week, and only if you are in film or photo class.
• Laptops may be checked out until the end of the day, but must not leave the CTL.
