Be kind, rewind? Information Systems, library offering digital conversion of professors' VHS tapes and DVDs
It's likely that many of the campus's incoming freshmen will have no frame of reference for the advice to "be kind, rewind."
For those that do remember VHS tapes and still use them to present video in the classroom, upgrading to a digital format isn't as hard as you might think. K-State Polytechnic's Information Systems and the Polytechnic Campus library are offering to assist faculty with converting both VHS tapes and DVDs into digital format for archival and use on K-State's Mediasite (http://www.k-state.edu/mediasite/).
To request help or get additional details, please contact one of the following addresses:
Information Systems
785-826-2666 (Front Desk)
785-826-2628 (Media Services)
K-State Polytechnic Library

*Fun trivia:
Japan's Funai Electronics was the last commercial manufacturer of VCRs, and has now ceased production.

Thank you to our Movers and Groovers!
 On the Friday before classes began, students and their parents moving into the residence halls were met with a hospitable surprise: faculty, staff and other students waiting in the circle drive to welcome Wildcats to campus and assist with the unloading process.
To those who volunteered their time to "Movers and Groovers" on Aug. 18, I want to thank you for making our new students feel at home and for helping the whole operation to run smoothly. I also want to congratulate Shawn Mallory, residence life coordinator, and his staff of RAs for putting together and executing a successful move-in for our students.
The commitment, loyalty and genuine appreciation displayed by our faculty, staff and students for the Polytechnic Campus and university as a whole proves time and time again why we are called the Wildcat family.
