two hours of instruction by experts skilled in software training.

for Beginners" and "Photoshop 7.0 Power Session," both featuring
Scott Kelby, the editor of Photoshop User Magazine), and the tape "Illustrator
10 from the Ground Up" by Felix Nelson, creative director of Photoshop
User.
Mac users looking for instruction on Mac OS X will find a four-disk set of
workshops on CD-ROMs that they can play on their own computers using QuickTime.
These CDs feature high-quality visuals, especially noticeable in the shots of
computer screens.
Many other instuctional videos are also available in the Documents Room. To
see a complete list, go to http://docsrm.uoregon.edu/, move the drop-down menu
from "All Words" to "Medium" and type in "Video."
Then hit "search."
The videos and CD-ROMs circulate for one week and are renewable if no other user has requested the title.
