Because of the limited amount of equipment and high demand, classroom requests are given the highest priority. Seven days notice is required for equipment delivery and/or operators. Late requests will be considered only if equipment is available. A late charge may be imposed.
It is extremely important to convey your needs to Media Services as soon as you begin planning your event. Contact the Media Services, ext. 7480 to go over your specific needs. Pre-planning is essential for professional results.
Some equipment is available to individuals and departments for semester loan on a first-come, first served basis. Individuals and departments must assume responsibility for the equipment.
Video units (vcr/monitor on cart) may be secured in classrooms upon written faculty request, per semester -- based upon availability.
Technicians from Media Services are required for video operation in Blodgett Auditorium and Sanders Classroom Auditorium. All other video set-ups are installed for independent operation for which training is available. Security of equipment remains a priority.
A Media Services student operator may be available for the semester to serve a class with frequent media needs. This operator will work with the faculty member to fulfill all media needs for that class. Request in writing to Media Services Office, Box 724, in advance of each semester.
Many classrooms are equipped with video projection systems that can project computer data. Arrangements may be made for data projection in other rooms. This type of projection must be arranged well in advance of the event, using the online request form. It is important to arrange with Media Services to try out your software with the equipment in advance of your presentation.
Secure a room (usually through the Registrar), then completely fill out a Request Form. Include event start and end times; Media Services will build-in the set-up time.
Operators are required in some rooms; other rooms are self-operable.
Films: 16mm films to be shown may be left at the College Information Center in the College Center, properly labeled with faculty name, date, room, time of screening.
Video: The requester must deliver the video cassette/disc to the screening room 15 min. prior to the event. The requester is responsible for securing tape/disc after the screening. The Media Services operator is responsible only for projection of the tape/disc.
Video cassette/disc may be left at the College Information Center (College Center) with gold form attached (operators will not be responsible for tapes left without the proper form and required information) -- the Media Services operator will return the tape to the College Information Center in the College Center for your pick up.
Budget number required for any event outside of registrar-scheduled class times.
Advance notice: 7 calendar days. The more advance notice you give, the better Media Services may serve you. Please note: The Media Services Staff schedules are 8:30 am-10 pm Monday-Thursday and 8:30 am-5 pm on Friday. Assignment of operators and overtime for other hours is limited and advance notice is essential.
Media Services reserves the right to restrict some equipment use and operation and may recommend outside rental services. Rental sources may also be suggested when equipment is not available.
In cases where Media Services needs to hire an outside vendor to provide equipment or operators, that charge will be passed onto the user.
