On-line
On-line resources seem to be expanding daily. One place to start is by visiting the Bookmarks for Languages at CU page via the HLRC homepage (http://www.creighton.edu/langlab). Two other resources that give students practice on-line are first http://www.quia.com for all languages and subjects, and second for Spanish http://www.studyspanish.com.

Lab resources
Many lab resources are on the local server (via the LangLab Server icon on the desktop). Click on the appropriate language folder for access to any class materials. Other resources are on CDs and can be checked out with a valid student ID. The lab has two TV viewing stations, one is connected to a VCR for viewing VHS tapes. These TVs are connected to campus cable. The HLRC owns a multi-standard VCR for viewing other international video standards and a Marantz tape recorder with a quality shotgun microphone. One scanner station (see 2-level table by the window) has OCR, video, audio, and image editing software.
