Converting Powerpoints to Screen Savers

For those of you thinking of creating spiffy screen savers with book reviews to display on all your library (or school!) computers, try this tutorial. It's super easy, and it even works on MS 2007.

Once it's set up, it shouldn't take long at all to add more slides or delete the ones you no longer wish to use. I plan to save the folder with the slides in the staff shared folder at our school in the hopes that some of the teachers will use them as well.

Anyone up for sharing book blurbs?

Thanks Caryn!

Sorry question on totally different subject.

From which company did you order the white bookholder stands?

Sorry no earlier reply, Stephanie. I usually get mine from Highsmith. They are known in the catalogue as "Gibson easels". They come in packages of 12. I get the vinyl-coated ones; they're less expensive and very sturdy and unobtrusive. I get some of the regular easels (item # L91-15818, 4.75" x 3.75") and a few of the taller ones for heavier books (item # L91-15819, 9.75" x 3.75"). Warning: the double-decker ones, meant to hold two books, topple easily; I don't recommend them.
