Reserving Films

Faculty and staff may reserve films in advance for classroom viewing by using the Film Reservation Form.  The film reservation system is designed for faculty members who want to be assured of getting a film to show in class on a particular date in the future. There is no need to use the form for more immediate requests - simply check our catalog, and if the film is listed as available, feel free to come to the circulation desk and borrow.

Students (Undergraduate, Graduate, and Non-Degree)

Students may view films in the library collection on the multi-media viewing stations located on the 3rd floor. Films are for in-library use only. Students may not remove films from the library.

• Renewals - Up to one renewal (additional 2 hours occurs at time of renewal).
