Dupré Library was recently awarded grant funding by the UL Lafayette Division of Academic Affairs to purchase a one-year subscription to Screenleap, a multi-platform, cross-browser screen sharing application that allows users to immediately share their desktop and laptop screen with others. The library will use the application to improve its instructional and reference services for students and faculty. Reference librarians will use one account to share their screen with remote users to directly demonstrate library resources.
Just in time for finals, mobile whiteboards are now available. No checkout is necessary, but students should bring their own dry erase markers and erasers.
