Please let the media technicians know what equipment you
will need IN ADVANCE of the actual usage date. Whether for a class or a campus-wide
function, some judicious pre-planning can make a world of difference in
equipment availability.
 | Request equipment in person, by telephone, campus mail, email,
or by leaving a completed request card in the dropbox in the Media Librarian's
office (next to the Circulation Desk).
 | Include complete information: your name, type and quantity of
equipment to be used, class date and time, and class location. |
 | Email requests must still allow
24-hours lead time. Look for a reply email containing confirmation (or
regrets, if equipment unavailable) -- if you have not received a reply,
call to confirm.
|
|
 | Orders received with less than 24-hours notice cannot be
guaranteed.
|
 | Equipment will be delivered and picked up from the classroom,
EXCEPT in the following situations:
 | Computer & data projector setups may require instructor
pickup &return if only 1 technician is on duty. |
 | Laptop computers must ALWAYS be picked up and returned by the
instructor. |
 | Small items that are prone to theft (such as camcorders
or boombox players) may require instructor pickup and return. |
 | Off-campus use equipment must be picked up and returned by
the instructor. Some items are not available for off-campus use.
|
|
 | Instructors are responsible for the equipment they use.
Please DO NOT LEAVE EQUIPMENT UNATTENDED in a classroom or your office. You will be billed
for the replacement of equipment damaged or lost through negligence.
 | If you are unable to wait for the technician, and do not have
a key to lock the classroom door, please return smaller items such as camcorders,
audiocassette players, etc. to the Library's Circulation Desk, lock it in your office, or
take it to the nearest division/dept. office -- if one of the latter two, please leave a
note or phone message so the technician will know where to get it. |
|
Individual instruction on equipment
operation is available upon request. Group workshops are offered periodically
during FLEX weeks.
Media technicians can, upon arrangement, tape live classes,
activities and lectures.
 | Please give at least a week's notice. |
 | If taping is outside a technician's
routine working hours, the overtime must be paid by the requesting department. |
OFF-AIR RECORDING
-- This service is unavailable until further notice.
The media technicians can copy video and audio programs
under certain conditions.
 | All duplication will follow federal copyright law. In some
cases, duplication of material may be allowed, but Media staff will not duplicate without
specific, WRITTEN permission from the copyright owner.
 | The purchase of a commercially-produced program authorizes
the USE of that particular copy; it does not routinely include permission to make
additional copies.
|
 | If you need assistance in identifying the copyright owner
and/or a contact address, please contact the Media Librarian.
|
|
 | All duplications are subject to charges for blank tapes and
for the dubbing process.
|
 | Please allow for a turnaround time of 5 working days . |
