If you have general questions or aren't sure whom to contact, please contact the SMART Learning Commons desk staff at the Walter or Wilson Libraries (see right sidebar). They can help you find a tutor, research help, video, or give general directions to where things are located. They process all video requests for faculty/staff, equipment requests, and Media Viewing Room reservations. They also print off practice exams from the Test Bank. The desk staff are trained Student Media Consultants, so can answer basic technology questions. While they do have varying degrees of expertise, many can help with software like FCPX, iMovie, and Photoshop. If they don't know the answer to your question, they will be able to refer you to the person who does.
