Sneak peek of our soon-to-be released library video!

One Button Studio at the Library

The Thorpe Center at The Ames Library is now offering a One Button Studio. Designed for users who may not have prior experience with video software, the One Button Studio requires only a USB flash drive and yours truly. With the push of a single button, you can record a presentation for class or practice your public-speaking skills. Faculty and staff can use the One Button Studio to record lectures and professional-development videos. No more fussing with lighting, camera, or mics–it’s all taken care of for you!

Where do you start? Book an appointment online up to four weeks in advance, but please be sure to give us a 24-hour notice. For tips about design and copyright, see our LibGuide about the One Button Studio. Happy recording!

GoPro? Yes, please!

Those of you who use The Ames Library regularly know that we offer a variety of equipment for checkout: MacBooks, Kindles, audio recorders, and so on. All you need in order to borrow this equipment is your student ID and you’ve got it for five days.

Did you know that we now have a GoPro, though?

That’s right! The Ames Library recently acquired a GoPro Hero5 Session with 180 minutes of recording time. You can shoot video in 4k resolution and take photos up to 10 megapixels. The GoPro comes with a curved adhesive mount, a flat adhesive mount, and a mounting buckle. It’s also submersible in water to a depth of 33 feet.

Whether you need to make a short film for an end-of-the-semester project or just want to capture some unique shots of campus life, the library’s GoPro is your new go-to.

(View our equipment checkout policies here and then drop by the Library Services Desk on the main floor to grab the GoPro. Just make sure to bring your student ID with you!)
