The library issued me a card so that I can check out books and access online materials. They were surprisingly prepared for my circumstances. Maybe students visiting from other schools for research isn't such a unique situation as everyone else is making it out to be. The card expires on July 4th for some reason that no one can explain. Maybe my fall registration will be in the system by then and I can ask for an extension.
I now have internet everywhere I could want to go on campus. Getting wireless in the computer science building was the last step, and that was granted for 7 days until Larry returns. He has been unseen since I met with him on Monday, but this is basically the week off for everyone before summer officially starts next week, so who can blame him?
I found a book in the Engineering Library on the MPEG video standard which so far appears to be easy to read. Another book that I want to check out is currently missing from the shelves for an unknown reason. I have a hold on it, so someone else can do the searching for me.
Here is more information about the books for my own convenience:
Mitchell, J. L. (1996). MPEG video: Compression standard. Digital multimedia standards series. New York: Chapman & Hall.
Library listing. Amazon listing.
Symes, P. (2001). Video compression demystified. New York: McGraw-Hill.
