Re: [Videolib] Media circulation terms
DVD and video collections: Faculty for 1 week (7 days) with a 20 item limit. Faculty can also book titles for specific dates and longer loan periods. Students and staff for 3 days, 5 items. Community: in-library use (we are considering extending this to 3 days, 5 items). All renewals must not conflict with faculty bookings. We also do extensions (change the due date) for faculty, as needed. We have a 3 day grace period. Our health science library loans media for 4 weeks with 2 renewals for all patrons. We have found that undergrad loans have a higher risk for long overdue, lost, and not responding to recalls for classroom and reserve needs. Therefore, please provide a mechanism for faculty to book films in advance to assured access! We did a review of faculty bookings several years ago. Two popular patterns emerged: 3 days and 10 days met the majority of faculty needs. The next most requested loan periods were 2 days and 7 days.

Could those of you with an academic media library collection share how many films a faculty member is allowed to have out at one time and for what duration? Your information is much appreciated!

Hi, All, What are media librarians at academic libraries doing when a faculty member asks for a DVD copy to be made of something for which only VHS exists, for use in face-to-face teaching? You can email me off-list if you prefer. Thanks!

Re: [Videolib] Media circulation terms
7 days, no renewals. Extensions upon request, but would have to have very good reason for us to allow more than an extra week. (Loan used to be 3 days, but we looked at data and more than 50% were renewed or extended, so was easier to just make it a 7-day loan standard.) If on 4-hr reserve for other professor, we ask that they respect that and return DVD by the end of the day. No actual fines accrue for faculty, but they automatically receive overdue notices via email. If a video is more than a week overdue, it will block them from checking out anything else from the library. As many as you can carry. Booking and reserve options are offered.

Re: [Videolib] format issues
Hi Tim, 1) I look all around and see if it has been re-released on DVD. If so, ask my acquisitions colleague to buy it as a rush. 2) Remind the faculty members that they can make an arrangement w/ one of the support units in the university to have a VHS player set up for display in the class. 3) If it has not been released on VHS, sometimes try to approach the original distributor with request for permission to format shift. 4) If the distributor or rights holder cannot be located, I heave a heavy sigh and look through our collection and among newer releases to see if there is something else that is on DVD that could satisfy the user's need. - Victoria Caplan Media Resources Microforms HKUST Library Hong Kong University of Science Technology Hi, All, What are media librarians at academic libraries doing when a faculty member asks for a DVD copy to be made of something for which only VHS exists, for use in face-to-face teaching?
