One File to Rule Them All:
PDF Files in the Library


Date/Time:        Thursday, January 10, 2008; 9:30 am – 3:30 pm
Location:           TC3-Leiberman Extension Center, Tioga Place, Downtown Ithaca, NY
Registration:       $55/SCRLC members; $70 non-members, lunch on your own.
                         Enrollment limited to 17 attendees.
Audience:          Librarians and support staff from all types of libraries.

Librarians have been managing electronic reserves for years and most of those reserves are in PDF (Portable Document Format) format. PDF technology has bloomed over the past few years and many more businesses and libraries are also taking advantage of this paper-less technology for: document archives, document sharing and editing, on-line forms (fillable), and on-line presentations. This workshop will teach you how to use Adobe Acrobat to: create simple and accessible PDF files from single files, multiple files and directly from your scanner. You will also learn how to create forms in Acrobat so that you can collect important information on-line. This workshop will teach you to use Acrobat as an interactive presentation tool - imagine creating 'librarian-approved' content guides (ex. an electronic guide to poetry) that are interactive, informative, and portable!

Eric Machan Howd, Tompkins Cortland Community College's Coordinator of Online Learning Services, always brings 'real-life' situations and problem-solving scenarios into his workshop training, so participants not only learn the software, but they also learn how to trouble-shoot the problems that arise every day with the software! Eric was recently awarded the SUNY Chancellor's/ Trustee's Award for Excellence in Professional Services for his work at TC3.
