Beyond Bullet Points: Using Microsoft Powerpoint to Create Presentations that Inform, Motivate and Inspire walks you through the process of revitalizing an entire presentation by removing every single bullet. By using your presentation to tell a story, instead of to read a bunch of bulleted lists, you will keep your listeners engaged and be sure that they get your message. You may not care if your classmates get the message, but it's important that your professor does if you want that A! Learn the differences between a dull presentation and a great one by reading or even skimming through this book whenever you get a chance.

This book, and all of our Safari Online books, are available online and can be accessed by students and RVCC employees from any computer.

Please remember that your RVCC College ID is required to check out materials from the library. Old ID cards will no longer be accepted.

The College ID policy is in place for two important reasons:

• First, if you would like to access your library account online, your College ID barcode must be in our system. By accessing your account online, you can renew books and check their due dates from your office or home.
• Second, the library needs to follow privacy guidelines. We have over 10,000 library accounts including students, college employees, and patrons from the community. By using a College ID, the correct account will always be used, minimizing the chance of materials being checked out on the wrong account - usually on an account with the same name or a very similar one. Also, many students and employees have accounts with one of the Somerset County Library branches. We want to ensure that we are using your RVCC library account, not the one from your town library.

Please be advised, that exceptions will not be made. A College ID must be presented by all students, faculty, staff, and administrators when checking out materials. Student IDs may be obtained at either the Library or the Student Activities Office.

We hope to see you in the Library this semester! ]]> Tue, 19 Jan 2010 09:00:00 EST http://library.raritanval.edu/news/2010011916 http://library.raritanval.edu/news/20100115
