Networking At The Speed Of Technology Registration (All Day)
NMSU's Arrowhead Center sets up speed dates for entrepreneurs, venture capitalists Searching for the right companion is tough, whether it's looking for a romantic partnership or even a business partnership. To help, New Mexico State University's Arrowhead Center wants to hook up technology entrepreneurs and venture capitalists in the state during their event, Networking at the Speed of Technology, Oct. 20 at The Game Bar and Grill in Las Cruces. "This really is a unique opportunity," said Dawn Hommer, a business incubation specialist for the Arrowhead Center. "It's not easy to get an audience with venture capitalists. This kind of meeting can also be very intimidating, so we really want to be proactive in helping these companies." Technology companies selected will have a chance to personally present an abbreviated version of their business plans and capital needs to leading venture capital representatives. The event's format will be much like the popular speed dating where companies will have three minutes to make their pitch and the venture capitalists will have two minutes to ask questions. Then a bell rings, and each company must move on to the next venture capitalist. An informal networking event with the participants and the general public will immediately follow the speed dates. The deadline for companies wanting to take part is Sept. 10. Selected companies must attend two mandatory workshops from 8-10:30 a.m. Sept. 23 and Oct. 14 at the Small Business Development Center. The workshops are designed to help applicants refine their pitches and build confidence in their ideas. Full submission guidelines and application forms are available online at http://techstart.nmsu.edu."One thing companies will definitely walk away with is feedback, which is incredibly valuable," said Chris Keintz, director of innovation for Arrowhead Center's TECHSTART, which helps incubate technology companies. "Whether it's a good idea or a bad idea, whether the idea could be restructured in a certain way, these companies will find out during their meeting with these venture capitalists." The event is sponsored by Arrowhead's TECHSTART Technology Incubator, in partnership with the Mesilla Valley Economic Development Alliance, the New Mexico Small Business Development Center and Arrowhead Center's Entrepreneurship Institute.

Free ETextbook Reader/Study Platform (9:00 am - 10:00 am)
NOOKstudy™ by Barnes & Noble Comes to NMSU Free eTextbook Reader/Study Platform Promises to Help Students Study Smarter, Not Harder Developed with College Students to Include the Features Students Want Most [Fall 2010] - Since it’s not possible to squeeze more hours into the day, NMSU students are always looking for ways to get the most out of the hours they do have. The University Bookstore just may have the solution: NOOKstudy™ by Barnes & Noble. More than an eTextbook reader, NOOKstudy is a feature-rich and easy-to-use software application that allows students to store and manage the digital content for their classes – eTextbooks, class materials, personal notes, and teacher handouts - all in one place. Best of all, NOOKstudy is a free download that works on the PCs or Macs® students already own. “NOOKstudy is so much more than just a simple e-reader application,” notes NMSU Bookstore General Manager Carleen Cirillo. “It’s an amazing and interactive tool that actually helps students improve their educational experience and study smarter, not harder.” Developed with extensive input from students across the country, NOOKstudy incorporates the features and tools that students said would help them get the most out of their limited study time, including:
- The ability to create course specific files where they can house all electronic course content including: syllabi, teacher hand-outs, scanned written notes, links to content
- The flexibility to electronically highlight and take notes in a variety of colors for easier recall and improved organization
- Tools that allow students to tag content for future reference (e.g. “Share with study group,” “Test prep,” “Needs further research,” etc.) making follow-up faster and easier
- The option of having multiple eTextbooks open simultaneously to make studying more efficient
- One click access to complementary online reference materials and resources (e.g. Google, Wikipedia, dictionary, etc.) directly from their eTextbooks
- And much more

Networking At The Speed Of Technology Registration (All Day)
NMSU's Arrowhead Center sets up speed dates for entrepreneurs, venture capitalists Searching for the right companion is tough, whether it's looking for a romantic partnership or even a business partnership. To help, New Mexico State University's Arrowhead Center wants to hook up technology entrepreneurs and venture capitalists in the state during their event, Networking at the Speed of Technology, Oct. 20 at The Game Bar and Grill in Las Cruces. "This really is a unique opportunity," said Dawn Hommer, a business incubation specialist for the Arrowhead Center. "It's not easy to get an audience with venture capitalists. This kind of meeting can also be very intimidating, so we really want to be proactive in helping these companies." Technology companies selected will have a chance to personally present an abbreviated version of their business plans and capital needs to leading venture capital representatives. The event's format will be much like the popular speed dating where companies will have three minutes to make their pitch and the venture capitalists will have two minutes to ask questions. Then a bell rings, and each company must move on to the next venture capitalist. An informal networking event with the participants and the general public will immediately follow the speed dates. The deadline for companies wanting to take part is Sept. 10. Selected companies must attend two mandatory workshops from 8-10:30 a.m. Sept. 23 and Oct. 14 at the Small Business Development Center. The workshops are designed to help applicants refine their pitches and build confidence in their ideas. Full submission guidelines and application forms are available online at http://techstart.nmsu.edu."One thing companies will definitely walk away with is feedback, which is incredibly valuable," said Chris Keintz, director of innovation for Arrowhead Center's TECHSTART, which helps incubate technology companies. "Whether it's a good idea or a bad idea, whether the idea could be restructured in a certain way, these companies will find out during their meeting with these venture capitalists." The event is sponsored by Arrowhead's TECHSTART Technology Incubator, in partnership with the Mesilla Valley Economic Development Alliance, the New Mexico Small Business Development Center and Arrowhead Center's Entrepreneurship Institute.

NMSU Offers Educators A Wealth Of Professional Development Experiences (9:00 am - 10:00 am)
NMSU offers educators a wealth of professional development experiences As students pour back into area schools this month, almost 1,000 teachers will be better prepared because of participation in professional development events held by New Mexico State University's College of Education, in partnership with areas across campus. More than 930 teachers received professional development experiences through eight NMSU programs. The events took place throughout the summer, on the NMSU campus and in the surrounding area. "We are committed to providing excellent educational opportunities for students and educators. The college, as well as state and federally funded grants, foundations and business partners have supported more than 50 initiatives that provide services to children and schools," said Michael Morehead, dean of the College of Education. The Math Snacks summer camp was a collaboration between the College of Education, the College of Arts and Sciences and the Learning Games Lab and was held at Sunrise Elementary for fifth- through eighth-grade students. With the help of mentors from NMSU, teachers developed activities that extended learning from technology-based learning tools, including games such as Pearl Diver, to other hands-on activities. The camp was part of a National Science Foundation-funded project to develop games and animations on mobile technologies that will help students overcome conceptual gaps in mathematics. Scientifically Connected Communities held several events for teachers, including the Summer Institute and the Summer of Innovation. The institute helped teachers keep abreast of current information and gave them new ways to bring science to life for their students. NMSU partnered with the New Mexico Space Grant Consortium for the Summer of Innovation workshop, where more than 130 teachers participated in sessions addressing microgravity, including the science behind it and how it affects objects. The sessions prepared teachers to run their own summer camps. As well as providing workshops for students during the summer, the Southern New Mexico Science, Engineering, Mathematics and Aerospace Academy provided professional development covering SNM SEMAA's aerospace curriculum for 40 educators. Mathematically Connected Communities held summer academies for sixth- through 12th-grade teachers in June. About 219 teachers from 24 districts in the state participated. MC2 also held a leadership institute for 32 teachers on the NMSU campus. Participants will attend mathematics and education classes during the next two years to prepare to become leaders in mathematics education. Thanks to a MC2 grant, more than 100 teachers participated in the TERC Mathematics Academy in August. During the three-day academy, elementary teachers were able to focus on computing and computation and fractions, decimals and percents with colleagues. The Advanced Placement Summer Institute offered College Board Training in June. Educators from across New Mexico, Texas, California and Montana who work with students in seventh-12th grade were provided with the skills and knowledge to provide rigorous curriculum to their students.

Summer Water Restrictions And Water Saving Tips (All Day)
Summer Water Restrictions to Begin Citywide summer water restrictions begin Thursday, April 1 and will be in effect through Thursday, September 30. The annual restrictions prohibit the watering of outside vegetation between the hours of 10 a.m. and 6 p.m. A year-round watering schedule allows residents with even-numbered addresses to water outside vegetation on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays. Residents with odd-numbered addresses are permitted to water their vegetation on Wednesdays, Fridays and Sundays. No watering is permitted on Mondays. Water restrictions are part of a Water Conservation Ordinance approved by the Las Cruces City Council in September 1996. The City of Las Cruces encourages residents to use water wisely in order to conserve for future demand. WATER SAVING TIPS
- Wash vehicles only with a bucket or hose that has a shut-off nozzle so water doesn't run continuously.
- Water vegetation sparingly so puddles don't appear among plants and water does not flow into the street, alley, or adjacent property.
- Repair water leaks within five days.
- Don't wash concrete, cement or other impervious surfaces with a hose.
- Fix water faucet, toilet, or showerhead leaks immediately.
- Use the dishwasher and washing machine only with full loads.
- Avoid running water continuously for rinsing fruits and vegetables, washing dishes, brushing teeth or shaving.
- Re-use water. For example: After washing your car, use the bucket of rinse water to irrigate a dry spot on your lawn.
- Take showers rather than baths; the shorter the better.
- Flush only when necessary. Don't use the toilet as a trash can.
- Keep a bottle of water in the refrigerator; this way you have cold water without running the tap.
- Insulate water heaters and pipes.
- Use a compost heap or a garbage can instead of running the garbage disposal.
- Thaw frozen foods in your refrigerator, not by running warm water over them.

This makes our students ready to enter the work force trained for their new positions." The event is co-sponsored by Career Services and the College of Engineering.

Free ETextbook Reader/Study Platform (9:00 am - 10:00 am)
NOOKstudy™ by Barnes & Noble Comes to NMSU Free eTextbook Reader/Study Platform Promises to Help Students Study Smarter, Not Harder Developed with College Students to Include the Features Students Want Most [Fall 2010] - Since it’s not possible to squeeze more hours into the day, NMSU students are always looking for ways to get the most out of the hours they do have. The University Bookstore just may have the solution: NOOKstudy™ by Barnes & Noble. More than an eTextbook reader, NOOKstudy is a feature-rich and easy-to-use software application that allows students to store and manage the digital content for their classes – eTextbooks, class materials, personal notes, and teacher handouts - all in one place. Best of all, NOOKstudy is a free download that works on the PCs or Macs® students already own. “NOOKstudy is so much more than just a simple e-reader application,” notes NMSU Bookstore General Manager Carleen Cirillo. “It’s an amazing and interactive tool that actually helps students improve their educational experience and study smarter, not harder.” Developed with extensive input from students across the country, NOOKstudy incorporates the features and tools that students said would help them get the most out of their limited study time, including:
- The ability to create course specific files where they can house all electronic course content including: syllabi, teacher hand-outs, scanned written notes, links to content
- The flexibility to electronically highlight and take notes in a variety of colors for easier recall and improved organization
- Tools that allow students to tag content for future reference (e.g. “Share with study group,” “Test prep,” “Needs further research,” etc.) making follow-up faster and easier
- The option of having multiple eTextbooks open simultaneously to make studying more efficient
- One click access to complementary online reference materials and resources (e.g. Google, Wikipedia, dictionary, etc.) directly from their eTextbooks
- And much more
Thousands of eTextbooks are accessed using NOOKstudy with more available every month. In addition to offering a wealth of new features and study tools, eTextbooks save students up to 50% over the cost of a new, printed textbook. Students who don’t want to “go digital” with their textbooks can still choose from a variety of options at the NMSU bookstore. “We really are the only place that has all the formats and options students want,” says Cirillo. “Whether they want to shop in-store or online, want new, used, or digital textbooks we are the only place with all these options. Plus the NMSU bookstore is the only source with a guarantee that we’ll have the right book, for the right course, at the right time.” To learn more about NOOKstudy or to download the free application, visit the bookstore’s website www.nmsubookstore.com and click the Textbooks tab.

Networking At The Speed Of Technology Registration (All Day)
NMSU's Arrowhead Center sets up speed dates for entrepreneurs, venture capitalists Searching for the right companion is tough, whether it's looking for a romantic partnership or even a business partnership. To help, New Mexico State University's Arrowhead Center wants to hook up technology entrepreneurs and venture capitalists in the state during their event, Networking at the Speed of Technology, Oct. 20 at The Game Bar and Grill in Las Cruces. "This really is a unique opportunity," said Dawn Hommer, a business incubation specialist for the Arrowhead Center. "It's not easy to get an audience with venture capitalists. This kind of meeting can also be very intimidating, so we really want to be proactive in helping these companies." Technology companies selected will have a chance to personally present an abbreviated version of their business plans and capital needs to leading venture capital representatives. The event's format will be much like the popular speed dating where companies will have three minutes to make their pitch and the venture capitalists will have two minutes to ask questions. Then a bell rings, and each company must move on to the next venture capitalist. An informal networking event with the participants and the general public will immediately follow the speed dates. The deadline for companies wanting to take part is Sept. 10. Selected companies must attend two mandatory workshops from 8-10:30 a.m. Sept. 23 and Oct. 14 at the Small Business Development Center. The workshops are designed to help applicants refine their pitches and build confidence in their ideas. Full submission guidelines and application forms are available online at http://techstart.nmsu.edu."One thing companies will definitely walk away with is feedback, which is incredibly valuable," said Chris Keintz, director of innovation for Arrowhead Center's TECHSTART, which helps incubate technology companies. "Whether it's a good idea or a bad idea, whether the idea could be restructured in a certain way, these companies will find out during their meeting with these venture capitalists." The event is sponsored by Arrowhead's TECHSTART Technology Incubator, in partnership with the Mesilla Valley Economic Development Alliance, the New Mexico Small Business Development Center and Arrowhead Center's Entrepreneurship Institute.

Summer Water Restrictions And Water Saving Tips (All Day)
Summer Water Restrictions to Begin Citywide summer water restrictions begin Thursday, April 1 and will be in effect through Thursday, September 30. The annual restrictions prohibit the watering of outside vegetation between the hours of 10 a.m. and 6 p.m. A year-round watering schedule allows residents with even-numbered addresses to water outside vegetation on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays. Residents with odd-numbered addresses are permitted to water their vegetation on Wednesdays, Fridays and Sundays. No watering is permitted on Mondays. Water restrictions are part of a Water Conservation Ordinance approved by the Las Cruces City Council in September 1996. The City of Las Cruces encourages residents to use water wisely in order to conserve for future demand. WATER SAVING TIPS
- Wash vehicles only with a bucket or hose that has a shut-off nozzle so water doesn't run continuously.
- Water vegetation sparingly so puddles don't appear among plants and water does not flow into the street, alley, or adjacent property.
- Repair water leaks within five days.
- Don't wash concrete, cement or other impervious surfaces with a hose.
- Fix water faucet, toilet, or showerhead leaks immediately.
- Use the dishwasher and washing machine only with full loads.
- Avoid running water continuously for rinsing fruits and vegetables, washing dishes, brushing teeth or shaving.
- Re-use water. For example: After washing your car, use the bucket of rinse water to irrigate a dry spot on your lawn.
- Take showers rather than baths; the shorter the better.
- Flush only when necessary. Don't use the toilet as a trash can.
- Keep a bottle of water in the refrigerator; this way you have cold water without running the tap.
- Insulate water heaters and pipes.
- Use a compost heap or a garbage can instead of running the garbage disposal.
- Thaw frozen foods in your refrigerator, not by running warm water over them.

Networking At The Speed Of Technology Registration (All Day)
NMSU's Arrowhead Center sets up speed dates for entrepreneurs, venture capitalists Searching for the right companion is tough, whether it's looking for a romantic partnership or even a business partnership. To help, New Mexico State University's Arrowhead Center wants to hook up technology entrepreneurs and venture capitalists in the state during their event, Networking at the Speed of Technology, Oct. 20 at The Game Bar and Grill in Las Cruces. "This really is a unique opportunity," said Dawn Hommer, a business incubation specialist for the Arrowhead Center. "It's not easy to get an audience with venture capitalists. This kind of meeting can also be very intimidating, so we really want to be proactive in helping these companies." Technology companies selected will have a chance to personally present an abbreviated version of their business plans and capital needs to leading venture capital representatives. The event's format will be much like the popular speed dating where companies will have three minutes to make their pitch and the venture capitalists will have two minutes to ask questions. Then a bell rings, and each company must move on to the next venture capitalist. An informal networking event with the participants and the general public will immediately follow the speed dates. The deadline for companies wanting to take part is Sept. 10. Selected companies must attend two mandatory workshops from 8-10:30 a.m. Sept. 23 and Oct. 14 at the Small Business Development Center. The workshops are designed to help applicants refine their pitches and build confidence in their ideas. Full submission guidelines and application forms are available online at http://techstart.nmsu.edu."One thing companies will definitely walk away with is feedback, which is incredibly valuable," said Chris Keintz, director of innovation for Arrowhead Center's TECHSTART, which helps incubate technology companies. "Whether it's a good idea or a bad idea, whether the idea could be restructured in a certain way, these companies will find out during their meeting with these venture capitalists." The event is sponsored by Arrowhead's TECHSTART Technology Incubator, in partnership with the Mesilla Valley Economic Development Alliance, the New Mexico Small Business Development Center and Arrowhead Center's Entrepreneurship Institute.

Free ETextbook Reader/Study Platform (9:00 am - 10:00 am)
NOOKstudy™ by Barnes & Noble Comes to NMSU Free eTextbook Reader/Study Platform Promises to Help Students Study Smarter, Not Harder Developed with College Students to Include the Features Students Want Most [Fall 2010] - Since it’s not possible to squeeze more hours into the day, NMSU students are always looking for ways to get the most out of the hours they do have. The University Bookstore just may have the solution: NOOKstudy™ by Barnes & Noble. More than an eTextbook reader, NOOKstudy is a feature-rich and easy-to-use software application that allows students to store and manage the digital content for their classes – eTextbooks, class materials, personal notes, and teacher handouts - all in one place. Best of all, NOOKstudy is a free download that works on the PCs or Macs® students already own. “NOOKstudy is so much more than just a simple e-reader application,” notes NMSU Bookstore General Manager Carleen Cirillo. “It’s an amazing and interactive tool that actually helps students improve their educational experience and study smarter, not harder.” Developed with extensive input from students across the country, NOOKstudy incorporates the features and tools that students said would help them get the most out of their limited study time, including:
- The ability to create course specific files where they can house all electronic course content including: syllabi, teacher hand-outs, scanned written notes, links to content
- The flexibility to electronically highlight and take notes in a variety of colors for easier recall and improved organization
- Tools that allow students to tag content for future reference (e.g. “Share with study group,” “Test prep,” “Needs further research,” etc.) making follow-up faster and easier
- The option of having multiple eTextbooks open simultaneously to make studying more efficient
- One click access to complementary online reference materials and resources (e.g. Google, Wikipedia, dictionary, etc.) directly from their eTextbooks
- And much more
Thousands of eTextbooks are accessed using NOOKstudy with more available every month. In addition to offering a wealth of new features and study tools, eTextbooks save students up to 50% over the cost of a new, printed textbook. Students who don’t want to “go digital” with their textbooks can still choose from a variety of options at the NMSU bookstore. “We really are the only place that has all the formats and options students want,” says Cirillo. “Whether they want to shop in-store or online, want new, used, or digital textbooks we are the only place with all these options. Plus the NMSU bookstore is the only source with a guarantee that we’ll have the right book, for the right course, at the right time.” To learn more about NOOKstudy or to download the free application, visit the bookstore’s website www.nmsubookstore.com and click the Textbooks tab.

Summer Water Restrictions And Water Saving Tips (All Day)
Summer Water Restrictions to Begin Citywide summer water restrictions begin Thursday, April 1 and will be in effect through Thursday, September 30. The annual restrictions prohibit the watering of outside vegetation between the hours of 10 a.m. and 6 p.m. A year-round watering schedule allows residents with even-numbered addresses to water outside vegetation on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays. Residents with odd-numbered addresses are permitted to water their vegetation on Wednesdays, Fridays and Sundays. No watering is permitted on Mondays. Water restrictions are part of a Water Conservation Ordinance approved by the Las Cruces City Council in September 1996. The City of Las Cruces encourages residents to use water wisely in order to conserve for future demand. WATER SAVING TIPS
- Wash vehicles only with a bucket or hose that has a shut-off nozzle so water doesn't run continuously.
- Water vegetation sparingly so puddles don't appear among plants and water does not flow into the street, alley, or adjacent property.
- Repair water leaks within five days.
- Don't wash concrete, cement or other impervious surfaces with a hose.
- Fix water faucet, toilet, or showerhead leaks immediately.
- Use the dishwasher and washing machine only with full loads.
- Avoid running water continuously for rinsing fruits and vegetables, washing dishes, brushing teeth or shaving.
- Re-use water. For example: After washing your car, use the bucket of rinse water to irrigate a dry spot on your lawn.
- Take showers rather than baths; the shorter the better.
- Flush only when necessary. Don't use the toilet as a trash can.
- Keep a bottle of water in the refrigerator; this way you have cold water without running the tap.
- Insulate water heaters and pipes.
- Use a compost heap or a garbage can instead of running the garbage disposal.
- Thaw frozen foods in your refrigerator, not by running warm water over them.

Free ETextbook Reader/Study Platform (9:00 am - 10:00 am)
NOOKstudy™ by Barnes & Noble Comes to NMSU Free eTextbook Reader/Study Platform Promises to Help Students Study Smarter, Not Harder Developed with College Students to Include the Features Students Want Most [Fall 2010] - Since it’s not possible to squeeze more hours into the day, NMSU students are always looking for ways to get the most out of the hours they do have. The University Bookstore just may have the solution: NOOKstudy™ by Barnes & Noble. More than an eTextbook reader, NOOKstudy is a feature-rich and easy-to-use software application that allows students to store and manage the digital content for their classes – eTextbooks, class materials, personal notes, and teacher handouts - all in one place. Best of all, NOOKstudy is a free download that works on the PCs or Macs® students already own. “NOOKstudy is so much more than just a simple e-reader application,” notes NMSU Bookstore General Manager Carleen Cirillo. “It’s an amazing and interactive tool that actually helps students improve their educational experience and study smarter, not harder.” Developed with extensive input from students across the country, NOOKstudy incorporates the features and tools that students said would help them get the most out of their limited study time, including:
- The ability to create course specific files where they can house all electronic course content including: syllabi, teacher hand-outs, scanned written notes, links to content
- The flexibility to electronically highlight and take notes in a variety of colors for easier recall and improved organization
- Tools that allow students to tag content for future reference (e.g. “Share with study group,” “Test prep,” “Needs further research,” etc.) making follow-up faster and easier
- The option of having multiple eTextbooks open simultaneously to make studying more efficient
- One click access to complementary online reference materials and resources (e.g. Google, Wikipedia, dictionary, etc.) directly from their eTextbooks
- And much more
Thousands of eTextbooks are accessed using NOOKstudy with more available every month. In addition to offering a wealth of new features and study tools, eTextbooks save students up to 50% over the cost of a new, printed textbook. Students who don’t want to “go digital” with their textbooks can still choose from a variety of options at the NMSU bookstore. “We really are the only place that has all the formats and options students want,” says Cirillo. “Whether they want to shop in-store or online, want new, used, or digital textbooks we are the only place with all these options. Plus the NMSU bookstore is the only source with a guarantee that we’ll have the right book, for the right course, at the right time.” To learn more about NOOKstudy or to download the free application, visit the bookstore’s website www.nmsubookstore.com and click the Textbooks tab.

Free ETextbook Reader/Study Platform (9:00 am - 10:00 am)
NOOKstudy™ by Barnes & Noble Comes to NMSU Free eTextbook Reader/Study Platform Promises to Help Students Study Smarter, Not Harder Developed with College Students to Include the Features Students Want Most [Fall 2010] - Since it’s not possible to squeeze more hours into the day, NMSU students are always looking for ways to get the most out of the hours they do have. The University Bookstore just may have the solution: NOOKstudy™ by Barnes & Noble. More than an eTextbook reader, NOOKstudy is a feature-rich and easy-to-use software application that allows students to store and manage the digital content for their classes – eTextbooks, class materials, personal notes, and teacher handouts - all in one place. Best of all, NOOKstudy is a free download that works on the PCs or Macs® students already own. “NOOKstudy is so much more than just a simple e-reader application,” notes NMSU Bookstore General Manager Carleen Cirillo. “It’s an amazing and interactive tool that actually helps students improve their educational experience and study smarter, not harder.” Developed with extensive input from students across the country, NOOKstudy incorporates the features and tools that students said would help them get the most out of their limited study time, including:
- The ability to create course specific files where they can house all electronic course content including: syllabi, teacher hand-outs, scanned written notes, links to content
- The flexibility to electronically highlight and take notes in a variety of colors for easier recall and improved organization
- Tools that allow students to tag content for future reference (e.g. “Share with study group,” “Test prep,” “Needs further research,” etc.) making follow-up faster and easier
- The option of having multiple eTextbooks open simultaneously to make studying more efficient
- One click access to complementary online reference materials and resources (e.g. Google, Wikipedia, dictionary, etc.) directly from their eTextbooks
- And much more
Thousands of eTextbooks are accessed using NOOKstudy with more available every month. In addition to offering a wealth of new features and study tools, eTextbooks save students up to 50% over the cost of a new, printed textbook. Students who don’t want to “go digital” with their textbooks can still choose from a variety of options at the NMSU bookstore. “We really are the only place that has all the formats and options students want,” says Cirillo. “Whether they want to shop in-store or online, want new, used, or digital textbooks we are the only place with all these options. Plus the NMSU bookstore is the only source with a guarantee that we’ll have the right book, for the right course, at the right time.” To learn more about NOOKstudy or to download the free application, visit the bookstore’s website www.nmsubookstore.com and click the Textbooks tab.

Free ETextbook Reader/Study Platform (9:00 am - 10:00 am)
NOOKstudy™ by Barnes & Noble Comes to NMSU Free eTextbook Reader/Study Platform Promises to Help Students Study Smarter, Not Harder Developed with College Students to Include the Features Students Want Most [Fall 2010] - Since it’s not possible to squeeze more hours into the day, NMSU students are always looking for ways to get the most out of the hours they do have. The University Bookstore just may have the solution: NOOKstudy™ by Barnes & Noble. More than an eTextbook reader, NOOKstudy is a feature-rich and easy-to-use software application that allows students to store and manage the digital content for their classes – eTextbooks, class materials, personal notes, and teacher handouts - all in one place. Best of all, NOOKstudy is a free download that works on the PCs or Macs® students already own. “NOOKstudy is so much more than just a simple e-reader application,” notes NMSU Bookstore General Manager Carleen Cirillo. “It’s an amazing and interactive tool that actually helps students improve their educational experience and study smarter, not harder.” Developed with extensive input from students across the country, NOOKstudy incorporates the features and tools that students said would help them get the most out of their limited study time, including:
- The ability to create course specific files where they can house all electronic course content including: syllabi, teacher hand-outs, scanned written notes, links to content
- The flexibility to electronically highlight and take notes in a variety of colors for easier recall and improved organization
- Tools that allow students to tag content for future reference (e.g. “Share with study group,” “Test prep,” “Needs further research,” etc.) making follow-up faster and easier
- The option of having multiple eTextbooks open simultaneously to make studying more efficient
- One click access to complementary online reference materials and resources (e.g. Google, Wikipedia, dictionary, etc.) directly from their eTextbooks
- And much more
Thousands of eTextbooks are accessed using NOOKstudy with more available every month. In addition to offering a wealth of new features and study tools, eTextbooks save students up to 50% over the cost of a new, printed textbook. Students who don’t want to “go digital” with their textbooks can still choose from a variety of options at the NMSU bookstore. “We really are the only place that has all the formats and options students want,” says Cirillo. “Whether they want to shop in-store or online, want new, used, or digital textbooks we are the only place with all these options. Plus the NMSU bookstore is the only source with a guarantee that we’ll have the right book, for the right course, at the right time.” To learn more about NOOKstudy or to download the free application, visit the bookstore’s website www.nmsubookstore.com and click the Textbooks tab.
