Each machine will still need permission to play songs from the Itunes music store and it can not be copied only streamed. Password protection is an option. Go to edit>preferences>sharing for more options about looking and sharing music with your other machines. It allows you to share music between your computers on your personal network.

]]> Comment on Volunteer work at library- what are the chances getting hired? by Larry B http://www.pinpublibcoop.org/volunteer-work-at-library-what-are-the-chances-getting-hired/comment-page-1/#comment-117 Larry B Thu, 24 Jun 2010 15:19:07 +0000 http://www.pinpublibcoop.org/volunteer-work-at-library-what-are-the-chances-getting-hired/#comment-117 Thank you for volunteering at your local library, and thank you for considering a career helping people in your community. As you will soon learn, most library volunteers are seniors, uninterested in staying on and getting a long time job. Therefore, you might have made a very good decision and doors will open for you very soon. This depends on a number of factors. 1. Are you good for the field? 2. Is your library big enough to regularly hire new employees? 3. Do you plan to put in enough hours to be included in in-house recruitments (these could be limited to those who've volunteered at least 1000 hours)? and as was mentioned before, Do you have the minimum qualifications for the open position? Good news is that many libraries also provide scholarships to get that education and as a volunteer, you are a natural choice as a recipient. If you happen to be a minority in California, ask about scholarships right away because we don't have enough applicants for the scholarships available and the money will revert to the state. Bilingual es muy bueno, tambien. Thank you for volunteering at your local library, and thank you for considering a career helping people in your community.

Libraries, at least around here, tend to open jobs up internally first and then to the public. So if you're volunteering, you'll probably know about any openings a day or two in advance. Also, they know who you are so it's not like your resume would get overwhelmed in a stack of applicants. They'll either hire you or not, but they won't overlook you. If you don't have a BA degree, you're pretty much not going to be a library assistant. And if you don't have your Masters in Library Science you can't be a librarian. I just want to make sure you realize that so if your goal is to be a librarian someday you'll know. Clerks and such are usually high school or some college and would be open to you if you don't have a college degree. Working in a library is great. Congrats!

I've lugged 3kg+ Acers and they're actually not bad if you have a backpack. Consider that you may also need to carry textbooks and assignments around though -- you can't wear 2 backpacks comfortably. A large laptop backpack *may* have enough room to accomodate a textbook or two, but at that point it will be fairly hefty. Select a backpack instead of a carry bag, it helps a lot.
