From Access Services: info on instructional dvd/videos on reserve and circulating them. Almost all of the Instructional DVDs and VHSs have been transferred from UTLC to JACKSON. Cleanup of remaining titles is proceeding . The new location is "Instructional Film Collection." Instructional VHSs that were not used within the past 2 years have been send to storage and will not appear in the catalog.
As far as I am aware, the entire "Popular VHS Collection" has already been discarded (sent to surplus). The records will be removed from the catalog soon.
Instructors book items through Cathy R. to place on reserve for courses. These items are often on reserve for a specified amount of time (example: May 23 – May 30) and are for building use only.
These items will be placed on reserve for the course and instructor and given the 4H-Res (4 hours, building use only, reserve loan period) which has the overdue fine rate of $1.00 for the first hour or portion thereof overdue; $.50, each additional hour or portion thereof.
A copy of the attached DVD and Videos flyer will be inside each item from the Instructional Collection.
These items are searchable in the OPAC. To obtain call numbers, look there first. copy of the list from the OPAC will be printed and put into the Reserve Notebooks as a second point of reference.
When students come to borrow these items:
1. They are limited to one at a time per person.
2. direct patrons wishing to view VHS to the Checkout Desk for headphones, to the Info Commons for viewing.
Two viewing stations have set up temporarily in particular for anyone needing to view a vhs tape. Remember the dvd's can be viewed on the pc's and laptops. The 2 stations are in on opposite sides of the Info Commons (near the CITI) in the back under the windows, but on the tables opposite the ones under the windows. The stations consist of a tv, dvd/vhs player, and a headset jack.
The power/channel/volume/output buttons are on the left side of the tv monitor. The tv should be (and is as of right now) set to channel 3. The output to video.
Our mini headsets will work in the jack. Plug them into the front of beige box sitting to right of player.
We plan to move these stations and set up additional ones in Faculty Research Rooms as soon as the rooms are available and cleaned. We hope with a week. Once that happens, users will have to borrow a key to the room. Until then, they only need to borrow the headset unless they have their own.
This post talks about "instructional videos" the have been PUT ON RESERVE by faculty.
ReplyDeleteThat represents (I would guess) 4-8 percent of all the instructional DVD's in the collection. Does checkout of the ones NOT on reserve for a class work the same way as those that are??
And can faculty still check out [un-reserved] instructional videos for a week, as before?
An eager nation wants to know! Thanks

ReplyDeleteThank you for posting this info!! By the time I got around to reading the Access Svcs emails and starting a post, a four year old had jumped into doorway of my office to yell "Boo!" with a toddler huffing and puffing close behind.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure that the info available so far was helpful to the evening ref deskers.
