A/V Study Rooms

Rooms 260, 261, 360, 361, 460 and 461 of Mann Library each include a projection display cart.  These rooms are provided for currently enrolled Cornell students to use
for group study and in preparation for presentations. Using one of our loaner laptops (or your own), you can connect to the LCD to display PowerPoint slides, video, screen shots, or any other presentation.

Each cart includes the following:

  • 40" NEC LCD screen wth a VGA connector cable (to connect a laptop if desired),
  • A built-in Mac Mini computer (running OS X with Microsoft Office and web browsers)
  • A DVD/VCR Player/Recorder
  • Directional Speakers
  • A control interface for selecting components to display

A wireless keyboard and mouse can be checked out from the first floor Circulation Desk (map it) when your group checks out the room. Dry erase markers and VGA adapter cables can also
be checked out at the Circulation Desk.
