The law library will be stepping out of the process of offering CHE personalized e-mail highlights and summaries.

Now Wayne State has a university-wide CHE license. This new license allows faculty, students and staff members to create individual accounts (e-mail, RSS feeds, etc.)

The Library will stop delivery of personalized e-mail highlights for this electronic resource as of April 30, 2007 (except to assist you if you encounter difficulties setting up your own CHE account).

If you need help with the CHE e-mail subscription service, setting up an RSS reader and importing the CHE RSS feeds, please contact Michael Samson by phone, 7-6184, or by e-mail, ad4092@wayne.edu.

Now, as you prepare your PowerPoint conference presentations, you might be interested in a new mashup product (in case you don't want to use Microsoft Producer - the add-on to PowerPoint for A-V content) This new web service (of course a BETA one), Zentation.com, allows you to combine PowerPoint with Google video! Try it and let me know if it works!

Happy Zentation!
