    Overhead Projectors

    **Overhead Projector**There are several types of overhead projectors available, including portable projectors. The projectors also have a variety of brightness (lumens). If you are presenting in a room that you can't darken, be sure to ask for a bright overhead.

    Email Media Resources with questions about overhead projectors.

    Computer/video Projection Systems

    There are several systems to project data from computers, the Internet, or video from a VCR. If you plan on presenting from a computer, you will need to reserve a laptop from the Computing Help Desk.  If you will need an Internet connection for your presentation, Media Resources will take care of that for you and set up all the equipment for your use once you pick up the laptop.

    Here is the information we need to know:

    Email Media Resources with questions about video/data projection systems.
