WELCOME TO THE
INTERACTIVE MEDIA CENTER

The Interactive Media Center of the University Library supports the creation of multimedia projects and the digital design of presentations, publications and Web sites. This is the only place on campus to accomplish activities such as assisted Web design, digital recording and editing, sophisticated image editing, creation of PDF files, and the use of analog to digital audio and video for research, instruction, publication and student activities.

The Interactive Media Center is open to all University students, faculty, and staff on a walk-in basis. The IMC is not open to the public. Assistance is usually available on request. However, we recommend that you plan ahead and contact us for an appointment.

The hardware includes both PC and Mac computers, MIDI devices, scanners, color and black and white printers, and audio/video digitizing equipment.

The Interactive Media Center has camcorders, microphones, tripods, cameras, digital voice recorders, and other equipment available. A complete list may be viewed on our Tools page. Checkout and return of cameras, camcorders, and tripods is dependant on availability. In addition, they must be picked up and returned during a limited time frame. We strongly suggest that you contact us at rconboy@uamail.albany.edu or at 442-3608 for more information and reservations.

A collection of sophisticated software features Web editors, audio and video applications, image editors, DVD burning tools, and much more.

The IMC offers many instructional opportunities, including a large number of free classes. Topics include image and OCR scanning, Photoshop, Acrobat, Dreamweaver, HTML & CSS, and audio and video editing.

The audio/visual playback area supports a multitude of formats including earlier formats such as phonographs to providing the latest world-wide video support for VHS and DVD.


NOT IN THE IMC:

The IMC does not provide access to Microsoft Word. The Word Viewer is available to print and view text documents. We encourage you to use other resources on campus or your own computer to perform word processing.
