Safari Tech Books Online
If you have not been to the databases area on the library website you're missing out on some great materials available to you.
In particular, you should check out Safari Tech Books Online. This is a group of tech e-books. There are books about many software titles found in the studio at this location. You can search by topic. For instance, if you need to learn about cropping video in final cut pro or how to take red-eye out of a picture in photoshop you can find it here. Check it out if you get the chance.

Optimal Sight Lines: Blog Subject Recap for July
Whenever possible, I've tried to append entries with related Library of Congress Subject Headings. These headings are links that take you deep into the "controlled vocabulary" that is the heart of the Library's online catalog. George Steiner (in a 1973 essay titled "After the Book?") went so far as to say that a library's catalog "enacts a formalized vision of how the world is put together, of what are the optimal sight-lines between the human mind and phenomenological totality." Phenomenological totality may or may not change, but the human mind does, thus Library of Congress Subject Headings do too...so, there is some (obvious) variance between common usage and the headings.
Here are the "optimal sight lines" for July (in no particular order).
Communication -- Philosophy
Graphic design
Business presentations -- Graphic methods -- Computer programs
Microsoft PowerPoint (Computer file)
Visual communication
Graphic methods
Rhetoric
Color computer graphics
Color in design
Adobe After Effects
Cinematography -- Special effects -- Data processing
Final cut (Electronic resource)
Digital video -- Editing -- Data processing
Digital cinematography
QuickTime
Motion pictures -- Editing -- Data processing
Web sites -- Design
ITunes
IMovie
IPhoto (Computer file)
DVD-Video discs -- Authoring programs
Digital media

Photography Digital techniques
