WAIT! Don't Erase that Whiteboard!

Do you have a Flickr.com account or an account with another online photo sharing service?  Have you ever considered posting pictures of your awesome whiteboard diagrams on a photo sharing site?  Instead of only sharing your knowledge with other CSU students, why not provide a wonderful source of collaboration for students across the globe?*

If you do decide to accept our challenge to share your whiteboard creations with the world, please let us know!  We’d love to know how you’re contributing to the world’s academic community.   

 At the CSU Libraries, we are committed to:

  • Collaboration

  • Diversity

  • Excellence

  • Innovation

  • Intellectual Freedom

  • Service

  • Teamwork

  • Instruction
