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.

It is hoped that the list will serve as an effective working tool for video librarians, as well as a channel of communication between libraries,educational institutions, and video producers and distributors.
