Computer Literacy Placement Test

Students often come in looking for a study guide for the computer literacy placement test (the test that can be passed to be exempt from the Computer Literacy course). The test used is CSP - Computer Skills Placement. As far as I know, there is no study guide available in the library or through any of the other divisions. I did find this website which has PDF documents listing the objectives for each part of the test. These documents could be used as study guides, because they do tell the student what he will be expected to know/do for each section. From what I saw, students are only given a sheet of paper that lists the sections of the test with no information about how to go about learning the concepts.

Interior Design Resources in LexisNexis

I believe we acquired some Interior Design courses through the vo-tech, and I found this email from LexisNexis about new content in that database which might be useful. I don't know how many of these students will be looking for information, but if so, they might want to try LN.
