SMART Boards
The 10 study rooms in the ZSR Library are equipped with interactive white boards called SMART Boards™. SMART Boards allow users to not only navigate the computer via a pen or finger on the interactive whiteboard surface, but also draw or write, capture screenshots and capture movies of action on the desktop.
Below are instructions and links to websites for SMART Board training. For information on connecting a laptop to the SMART Board or projector in a study room, see our study room equipment instructions.
Installing the SMART Board Software
- The software can be found at Start > Control Panel > Add/Remove Programs.
- Click the Add New Programs button, wait for the list of programs to appear and click SMARTBoard.
- Click the Add button and follow the instructions on the text file that opens.
- Follow the defaults in the install program, agree to the licensing agreement, click Next and Finish until complete.
- Do not attempt to register the software, simply click Finish.
- The SMART Board Tools will launch upon completion of the installation.
Registering the SMART Board Notebook Software Application
To save drawing files created on the SMART Board, users must save the file as an embedded object in a SMART Board enabled application like Microsoft Office, or they must save their work as a Notebook file with the SMART Board Notebook application.
To register the SMART Board Notebook application:
- Go to Start > All Programs > SMART Technologies > Notebook Software > Notebook Software 10

SMART enabled applications will automatically launch the notebook software when a pen is picked up from the tray on the SMART Board, or users can launch the software manually at Start > All Programs > SMART Technologies > Notebook Software > Notebook Software 10.
