DVDs, films, videos and other media software can be scheduled via the Media Library office. Media covering a broad range of educational interests is available for classroom or personal viewing. Faculty, staff and students may check out media, arrange to have it delivered to their classroom or view it in the Self-Instruction Lab. Students may check out 2 titles for a maximum of 7 days. Faculty, teaching assistants and staff may use their proxy borrowing privileges to have students pick up media by ordering it in advance, then sending a proxy form and Faculty ID with the students picking up the media. Students picking up media for personal use must do so in person and present a valid student ID.
Media titles held by Lovejoy Library may be located through the Library's online catalog. Since media availability varies, clients should schedule orders well in advance of the date needed. Arrangements for classroom use of any program may be made through the Media Librarian or online. To avoid scheduling conflicts of limited resources and to allow adequate processing time, faculty needing delivery of media must contact the Media Librarian by phone (3051) or in person, no later than 24 hours before it is required. However, when media is requested for pickup, this 24-hour policy may be waived subject to the Media Librarian's workload. When the 24-hour policy is not observed, a minimum advance notice of 2 hours is required for the order. Online requests must be received no later than 72 working hours before the media is needed. The Media Library is open during regular library hours. All media ordered for pickup will be checked out and returned to microforms/media, located on the 2nd floor of Lovejoy Library. Please, do not return media in the library book returns. Damage is the user's responsibility.
The Library's media collection is available for checkout only to SIUE faculty, staff, and students. For additional information about the Media Library, refer to Staff and Hours of Operation.
