You never know where you'll find technology inspired greatness! We only had to look out our back door this week to see the Student Success Day volunteers scanning registrant's IDs as they entered the building. A number of "success days" back, after painstakingly taking down student names by hand, Deb Ellsworth got a brilliant idea. She approached Teddy Wieczorek and Wail Kailani from the library and inquired about the potential of the library barcode scanner. With their help, she arranged for a loan of the scanner and they connected it to a laptop where data can be directly imported into an excel spreadsheet. Deb was exhuberant about the amount of time it saved - for both volunteers and students waiting to register. Subsequently, media services has ordered scanners that are now available for checkout for staff who could use this technology.
