Classroom equipment list & policies

Film/video borrowing policy

Videos and films owned by the St. Catherine Libraries and other CLIC institutions may be borrowed for classroom viewing through Media Services. We will also attempt to locate videos available for rental from other film libraries if sufficient lead time is provided. To be sure a tape is available when needed, book as far in advance as possible.

For assistance booking videos, contact Ron Carlson at x7792. Please include the date and time the video is needed. Request videos with the Minneapolis Campus Classroom, Equipment and Media Order Form or pick up an instruction sheet in rack outside of Media Room 445C.

To see what videos and films are available, search:

CLICnet (for films at St. Catherine or other CLIC libraries);
or contact Ron Carlson.

Equipment lists & policies

Most classrooms should have an overhead projector and a TV/VCR. For other equipment listed below, submit a request form. This means you will need to submit a reserve form for equipment and media by 12 noon the day before you wish to use them. Media will be checked out to you and left at the Circulation Desk in the Library for you to pickup before class. (Note: Any media checked out at the Circulation Desk that is on Reserve is checked out for 3 hours only. Reserving material via the Minneapolis Campus Classroom, Equipment and Media Order Form will facilitate pick up of media and alleviate overdue notices). Forms for ordering equipment are online.

For equipment and media weekend orders, please contact Ron Carlson at x7792 by 12 noon on Friday before the weekend, so the necessary equipment and/or media can be delivered to your office. If not reserved by this time on Friday, it will NOT be available for your use on the weekend. The library is not open for early pick-up (see library hours).

Note: Report burned-out overhead lamps or defective equipment to x7792. Leave a message with your name, phone number, and the classroom. Repairs will be completed at the first opportunity.
