Tutorials

The Mildred M. Kelley Library has a large number of software tutorials in CD-ROM and DVD format available for student use. Tutorial discs may be checked out for three days. Most tutorials are multi-disc sets, but because of the demand for these items, only one disc at a time may be checked out.

The call number of each disc follows after its title. DVD titles are as marked and indicate DVD-Video format unless otherwise noted. All other discs are CD-ROM. In order to check out a tutorial disc, present the call number and a valid AiDallas ID card at the Circulation Desk.
