Mississippi's Millsaps College has not been left out of the digital media lab advancements that have come to be important in academic libraries. Inside the Millsaps-Wilson Library, there are several rooms by which students can make use of media to enhance their studying and group/individual projects. Televisions with built-in DVDs/VCRs are available in some rooms as well as music listening stations. Their digital media lab, supported by the Parents' Council, is available for use by all faculty, students, and staff which is reserved purposefully for multimedia work in video, photo, and audio. For video, the lab offers equipment for checkout such as digital video camcorders. For their photo section, the lab offers digital cameras along with tripods and lighting equipment. Lastly, their audio section comes complete with high-tech microphones, audio adapters with comparable accessories, and audio recorders. One of the more interesting accessories that this DML offers is the accessories for the iPhone in which one is called the mCam Lite for iPhone 5 and iPhone 4/4S. According to their site, this equipment allows for both photo and video capture with interchangeable lenses to create more stunning effects. As a final note, the computer hardware available at this small college contains such items as iMacs workstations, MacPros, a VHS-to-DVD conversion terminal, and an HR Epson scanner. With this digital media lab being in the state's capitol of Jackson, this college has provided its most promising students with a wide array of media and hardware to produce amazingly creative art in any format.
