Un message de la GSAÉD...
Voilà encore la célébration mensuelle de notre statut d'étudiants postsecondaires, ce qui vient avec un coût - les frais de scolarité - mais la Soirée des diplômés vous offre une pause en éteindre votre soif.
Alors profitons de ce vendredi avant l'Halloween sombre; venez costumé et recevez double les prestations d'assistance. Ne faites pas comme moi il y a deux années lorsque mon costume était trop épais pour traverser la porte... habillez-vous en ce qui vous permet de dancer aux Motown beats du DJ Brains4breakfast.

A message from GSAÉD...
It's our monthly celebration of our higher education status, which comes at a price - tuition - but Grad night we will give you some respite by quenching your thirst.
So take advantage of this gloomy Halloween Friday; dress up and get twice the benefits of being there. Don't do like I did a couple years ago when my costume was too big to fit in doorways... wear something that allows you to dance to DJ Brains4breakfast's Motown beats.

Great Link: 5 Library Sources for Quick Computer Training
Une ressource que j'ai trouvée très intéressante

5 Library Sources for Quick Computer Training
It’s hard to find good online technology tutorials, especially those for quick and basic computer skills. Harder still to find some that meet our high expectations as information professionals. So why not turn to the library world itself?
Below is a collection of my top 5 favorite sites for these quick computer training materials. These could be webinars, class handouts, tutorials, screencasts, you name it. What’s important is the content. It’s content I’m comfortable pointing a customer or a fellow staff member to if some core computer fundamental skills need improving. Weirdly, two institutions get two mentions apiece — but that’s because what they have is awesome. Browse through what they have, and you might be surprised to find there’s something there for you too!
