- AV Rover www.avrover.com This line of products looked very interesting for the bissett space as well as for Mann events in non-AV spaces of Mann Library (like when book-talks are held in the deans room). This is a mobile AV station with projector (VGA), speakers, built-in DVD-VHS plus extra rack space to accommodate more devices. There are also some grants that could save us $ on the purchase.
- The Optoma Mini-hand-held projector looked interesting as well, patrons could check the out from circulation and use them in any quiet/dark corner or the library for group study.
- The Zoom q3 http://www.samsontech.com/products/productpage.cfm?prodID=2020 a hand-held video/audio recorder could be a great tool for collaboration and student podcasting.
- the Mimio interactive http://www.mimio.com/products/mimio_interactive/index.asp would also be a nice addition to Bisset because it can mount on any wall or whiteboard and make it interactive. Check out the product and video.
- I was also impressed by the Hitachi StarBoard demo, until i realized that we already have this in our classrooms (SMART Panel), and to make it work in a collaborative environment would be difficult due the fact you need to use special software (which means providing and supporting a computer running the software), and documentation would need to be thorough or else support call will be frequent.
