Staff workstation ready

After having to spend a week or so on Project Play stuff, I finally have the staff ‘casting workstation in the OWLS meeting room ready for business. The computer is zippy and the monitor is nice and big. Thanks to Julie for ordering the computer and getting it set up for me! She did a great job with the specs on the equipment.

I installed Audacity, ePodcast Producer, and Camtasia Studio and set up some quick launch icons to everything including Windows Movie Maker, Windows Media Player, Quicktime viewer, a couple of browsers, etc.

While installing the software on the staff workstation, I noticed that the clock we have hanging above the desk makes pretty loud ticking noises when you’re sitting right underneath it. That’s gonna have to go! We’ll either have to move it or purchase a quiet one to replace it.

I’m excited about having the workstation up and running! Now I can begin to plan training for OWLS staff, so we can start some projects for InfoSoup. The more I tinker with all of the equipment that was purchased, the more ideas I get for what OWLS and our libraries will be able to do with it all. Fun ahead!
