How can I find out
what media materials are available
in the Library?
How long may
faculty check out
videos?
- Faculty check
out videos for a
period of 1 week,
but are encouraged
to return videos
when finished
showing them in
their classrooms.
If faculty need a
longer check out
period, due dates
can be adjusted.
Students check out
videos for
in-library-use
only.
Do I have access to
other videos besides
what’s in the Library?
-
County Media
Collection:
Students and faculty
have access to a
collection of videos
that we share with
other local
community colleges.
Search the database
for videos, then
request one by
filling out a “Film
Rental Request” at
the Media Desk, by
sending an email to marty.armstrong@gcccd.edu,
or by calling (619)
644-7376. Students
can view videos in
the library.
Faculty may check
the videos out
for one week.
Deliveries are
on Tuesdays and
Fridays.
-
Loans, Previews & Requests to
Purchase:
Faculty members can
request loans from
other libraries,
request previews of
videos from
vendors, or request
items for library
purchase. Send an
email to
marty.armstrong@gcccd.edu
or call (619)
644-7376.
I need to show
particular videos on
certain days.
Can I book videos in advance?
-
Film Booking
Service:
Faculty members can
book videos in
advance by either
calling Karen McCoy
at 619-644-7491 or
e-mailing
karen.mccoy@gcccd.edu.
Faculty members can
also provide a list
of videos and what
dates the videos will
be needed. The
request can be made
at the beginning of
each semester, or a
few days before the
video(s) are needed.
- An email is sent
confirming the
request and the
item(s) are set
aside on a cart with
the faculty member’s
name on it. The
instructor can then
quickly check the
items out at the
Media desk. Many
instructors take
advantage of this
service because they
know the video(s)
are
available and ready
for check out on the
date requested. Of
course, faculty
members still have
the option of
checking out
video(s)
on the day/night of
class.
How do I place a video or
other media item on
Reserve for my
students?
-
Media Reserves:
Media
materials such as
DVDs, VHS tapes, CDs,
and CD-ROMs can be
placed on Reserve by
instructors to
support course work.
Instructors can
print out a
Media Reserve Form
and submit it with
the material at the
Media Desk.
How can I find
additional
media resources?
-
Internet
Resources:
The Internet offers
a wealth of free
media resources,
such as videos,
images, sound
recordings, etc. An
annotated list of
some of these media
resources is
available
here.
