APC Surge Protector Recall

3/22/2017

0 Comments

 
APC has announced a recall on a number of their surge protectors manufactured from 1993-2002.  Please follow the link below to determine if your unit is included and how to file a claim.  Do not be fooled into thinking your surge protector looks too new to be included.  The one in my office appears flawless and yet it is from 1997.

Print What You Like

When you print webpages from the internet you usually get tons of ads and extra "stuff" drowning out your target material.  You may also find that the formatting changes, which can be even more aggravating.  Not only does all of this waste a lot of ink and paper, but it takes away from what you really want to see.
There are programs out there that will remove the extraneous fluff and just print whatever text and images you want.  I have used CleanPrint (for Chrome) and recently found another tool that provides extensive control and customization.  PrintWhatYoulike allows you to change the text size and font as well as show or hide many aspects of a web page, including the background, images, and margins. Using the PrintWhatYouLike tool in Internet Explorer requires the extra step of entering a website address into the URL field at the top of their page; however, Chrome and Firefox each have buttons you can install on your toolbar.  You can also install a PrintWhatYouLike button on your website to encourage cleaner prints that save money and the environment.

​Are you looking for a fun way to represent yourself at the library and in your personal life?  Then you should download the Bitmoji app from the Google Play Store or App Store.  This fun app allows you to create a caricature (or emoji) of yourself that you can post to social media, send to friends and colleagues via text or email, or use them creatively in the library.

The app itself is easy enough to use and walks you through every part of creating your face.  From choosing your jaw line to eye shape and color to hair style and ears, you can create a pretty accurate character with your features.  After choosing your facial features, you can choose an outfit that best represents your style.  Next you will see hundreds of different poses, phrases, and actions your bitmoji can do.  You can express different feelings, holidays, sports, or actions  They do not move and are more like a sticker you can paste places.  (Read more...)
