Airtable: A Spreadsheet on Steroids!!!


Thanks to Debra Holberg, doc student in Special Education, I've fallen in love with a new app that will help organize my life on and off campus. For years now I have been trying to find a relational database that to easy to use, visually attractive, sharable and most of all inexpensive. Well, thanks to Debra, I have found it! The price couldn't be better - free (but as always you can upgrade to a pro version).

Airtable looks like a  spreadsheet but it is sooo much more. It certainly puts Google's spreadsheets to shame. Here's their promo:



Don't take my word for it here's what Debra has to say about it - "Seriously, it's pretty amazing... Ilove it because it's very flexible... it has simplified things for me immensely - and the fact that there's an app for my iPhone is a big plus as well!"

Welcome Back!


So much happened here in the library while you all were away!

We've added a Technology Help Desk. Staff at the tech desk will assist faculty, staff, and students with equipment lending, work space design, program support, and much more.

We've acquired quite a lot of lendable equipment to support your creative endeavors. Check out the list of what is available to students, staff, and faculty here.

If you haven't guessed, we're accumulating cool technology & equipment for our future Maker Space. The Maker Space will be located on the 2nd floor near the CIMC. A Lego wall is already there!

Speaking of the CIMC, we've moved our Juvenile collection into our CIMC so it's now a one-stop-shop for curriculum and instruction materials. Take a few minutes to browse the collection and be sure to send me titles that need to be added to our CIMC. I love to hear from you all!
And if I haven't said it al
ready, Welcome back!
