Preston Library has 7 new Blu-Ray players with flat panel monitors in the carrels on the NEB side of the 4th floor. Besides playing Blu-Ray discs that will be purchased in the future, these players will also upconvert and play DVDs a bit clearer than a standard DVD player.

Printers says, "Look Ma: no wires!"
We now have one wireless printer on the Main (5th) floor of the library, near the circulation desk. Unfortunately, the software which allows wireless access to the printer is only able to work with Windows based machines running Internet Explorer. The first time you use the printer you will have to install the Active-X printer drivers. Intructions are on the Preston Library, Services web page (http://www.vmi.edu/Show.aspx?tid=20389&id=33603) and at the wireless printer station.
