The Media Collection move has been completed!
The Media Collection has moved to its new home. CDs, DVDs, and VHS tapes are now shelved in open stacks on the 1st floor of the library.Items are shelved according to format and by BOT # (e.g., DVD BOT 1020). If you have the BOT #, you can go directly to the shelves to get your materials. We are still working on signage so please ask staff for assistance if you are having any difficulty finding what you need. Use our customized catalog search on our Find Videos and Other Media webpage to find items by keyword, title, genre, director, and other search options.
The Library is planning an Open House on May 7th to show off the new area. At that time, staff will be available to answer your questions about classroom use of media materials. More information about this Open House will be posted soon.
Important information for Faculty can be found in our Media Collection Faculty Guide.
General Overview and History of the project:
With the integration of the Campus Media Center and Information Systems into the new unit, Information Technologies (IT), there are a lot of changes. Recently, the Media Collection (Videos, CDs and DVDs - not equipment) has changed in some very noticeable ways. This page will be continuously updated with information about the Media Collection as changes occur and as new information becomes available. As always, please do not hesitate to ask us if you have any questions!
Phase 1 (Complete): Library Access Services takes over all Media Collection processing, including Reserves.
Phase 2 (Complete): Checkout of Media Collection items moves to the Information Commons (IC) Desk.
- All Reserve Media will now be located on the 1st floor in Closed Reserves (behind the Circulation desk).
- Media items (that are not on Reserve) will still need to be picked up at the IT Helpdesk, but will then need to be brought to the Circulation desk for checkout.
- Two Viewing/Listening Stations for Library Use Only materials are now located on the 1st floor. There are still Viewing/Listening Stations located on the 2nd floor.
- Circulating items can also be requested to be held for pickup at the Circulation desk. Place requests via the Online Catalog at least 24 hours in advance.
