Media Services supports technology-based learning through equipment delivery and maintenance, and off-air and satellite recording.
Media Services staff provides delivery, set-up and return of all portable audiovisual or computer equipment. They are responsible for all audiovisual equipment maintenance and inventory. Media equipment includes:
Faculty and staff should notify Media Services before moving equipment from one classroom to another.
Media Services is closed during quarter breaks, and on Saturdays during the quarter.
Because Media Services is closed on Saturdays, faculty/staff must make prior arrangements with media staff to check out equipment.
All orders must be transmitted to Media Services at least four hours in advance of usage in order to ensure availability of equipment;
Orders may be transmitted via telephone, e-mail, or in writing on a Media Services order form;
Changes to orders may be made until one-hour before previously scheduled time;
Any orders requested less than four hours before class time will not be delivered by Media Services. However, if equipment is available, instructor may pick up equipment and take it to the classroom. Media Services will pick up the equipment upon completion of use.
There is no limit on the number of days in advance in which media equipment is ordered. Equipment may be ordered for a full quarter loan, if available.
Confirmations for equipment will be issued either orally or in writing, ‘if’ a large equipment order is received.
All orders of audiovisual media (videos and CDs) must be made in advance of the class period for which the item is needed.
Media Services has a subscription to Netflix for educational purposes. To order documentary and feature film DVDs from Netflix, contact Media Services by email or phone (see contact us) with the following information:
It usually takes two working days from the time we enter the title until it arrives. Netflix lets us know where it is coming from and the approximate arrival date. We will contact you by e-mail when your DVD comes in; you can pick it up at the circulation desk or you can arrange to have it delivered to your classroom with the equipment.
Our subscription is limited to 8 DVDs at a time, so we may not always be able to accommodate every request. Depending on demand, and in order to allow us to serve as many faculty as we can, we may limit the number of DVDs you can order for any one time, and have set a one week loan period per title.
Note that not all titles may be available when you want them. Some titles come back as “short wait” or “availability unknown” meaning the title is booked elsewhere, and they are not sure when it will become available. If this is the case we will contact you to keep you informed of the status of your order.
