NEW RESOURCES

Upper Michigan Source: NMU archives launches UP Link. “In October, the Central UP and Northern Michigan University archives sought donated photos and documents to upload on their digital archive, UP Link. While it will take some time until those donated documents are available, UP Link is officially live.”


EVENTS


EFF: How to Make Every Media With Free & Open-Source Software. “‘How to Make Every Media With Free & Open-Source Software’ is an ever-evolving reference guide for creating in any digital medium with free and open-source tools. We’ll start at development & podcasting and work our way through making films, games, and VR experiences, covering each medium briefly and then zooming in wherever the audience is most interested. We’ll then open up for the crowd-sourcing of more open-source tools (as we’ve surely missed some), and questions from the audience on how they can get started, moving, or published in their current focus media.” This is not an EFF event, but an Electronic Frontier Alliance-affiliated event.


USEFUL STUFF


MakeUseOf: The 9 Best Google Sheets Formatting Tips for Creating Professional-Looking Spreadsheets. “There are so many ways to make Google Sheets look beautiful to impress with your data visuals. The majority of spreadsheet apps focus on the computation part, leaving the data visualization and formatting to the user. Therefore, if you don’t format your spreadsheet carefully, the audience may find it boring, since plain and simple data is not interesting. The same goes for Google Sheets.”
