Subject:  - Learning Studio - week of May 27

Time for the weekly report on some of our materials in the Learning Studio.

Equipment:

1. JVC SR-VS20U Mini/DV-VHS VCR
(non-circulating)
This is the latest digital video to S-VHS/VHS dual deck from JVC. Very
handy if you want to copy tapes in either direction. You can also use the
dual deck for4 many editing functions, such as adding a different
soundtrack. Along with regular use we plan to use it for a project
converting old museum documentary on 3/4 inch tape to both DV and VHS by
feeding in a signal from a 3/4 inch player.
Manuals are in English and French.

Equipment, not new to the collection but cool:

2. HP 48GX Graphing Calculator
Not many people know we have several of these handy little devices.
Specs are at: http://www.hp.com/calculators/graphing/48gx_specs.html
