Available Services

Media for Class Use

Media material may be reserved for use on specific dates by submitting a Media Resources Class Use Request Form. A 48-hour notice is requested to ensure availability of material. Note: your request is not confirmed until the MRC staff contacts you either by phone or e-mail.

Acquisitions

Recommendations for new titles are welcome and requests can be submitted directly to the MRC Supervisor or to the subject bibliographer by providing in writing the title(s), summary description, running time, and distributor. Acquisitions are made on a rolling basis throughout the year.

Previews

The MRC often receives information on new media releases which will be shared with appropriate academic departments. Preview costs, where applicable, will be shared 50/50 by the requesting department and the MRC. Previewers are asked for their reactions by completing a brief evaluation form after previewing a title.

Reserves

The MRC puts media and EdLab material on reserve. Requests should be submitted on a Reserve Request Form.
