Dear all,
Multimedia in Lamont
Lynda.com
Faculty, staff, and students will have 24/7 unlimited access to the lynda.com library of high-quality instructional videos on topics including: Microsoft, Adobe, iPhones & iPads, business skills, web design, programming, audio, video, and much more, even web tools like Dropbox, Twitter, and Skype.

MetaLab
metaLAB is a research and teaching unit at Harvard University dedicated to exploring and expanding the frontiers of networked culture in the arts and humanities. Our institutional home is the Berkman Center for Internet and Society. Our physical home is the Graduate School of Design. But our projects take us all over the world.
metaLAB is founded on the belief that many of the key research challenges and opportunities of our era — fundamental questions regarding experience in a connected world, democracy and social justice, the boundaries between nature and culture— transcend divisions between the arts, humanities and sciences; between the academy, industry, and the public sphere; between theoretical and applied knowledge.
Media Equipment for Staff
Library staff across Harvard University may borrow video equipment from Lamont Media Services for any professional purpose related to research, teaching, or learning. To reserve any of the following equipment, contact Paul Worster (617-495-1734):
