Services: Reserves and Reservations
Media Reserves
The Media-Microtext Center houses the main media reserves collection
for the humanities and social sciences. Instructors wishing to put
media material on reserve may submit their reserve lists electronically
or using the SUL 33 paper form. In either case, appropriate guidelines
should be followed. The standard loan period for reserves media materials
is 3 hours. Materials must be viewed in-house.
Most SITN
courses can now be accessed online. SITN lecture tapes can be
viewed from any computer terminal on campus which has Media Player
software on it and is equipped with a sound card.
Although videos are no longer routinely provided for these courses
in the Media-Microtext Center,a small number continue to be produced;
they can be found in Socrates by doing a title word search on the
terms "CS Course Lecture". Engineering course
videotapes are available at the Engineering Library.
Media Reservations
The difference between media reservations and media reserves is
the length of time for which the item is needed. Reservations withhold
an item from circulation for a short-term need (e.g. a screening
during class time); reserves protect a title from outside use for
an entire quarter. You may use the reservation web form or email
media reservations at mediaresv
to submit your reservation request.
Still confused about the difference between reserves and reservations?
Stanford Instructors
Need to set up a screening of a film for your class?
- Use the reservation
web form or email mediamtxt
to let us know media title, call number, date and period of time
needed, plus your name, email, and phone number. (Note:
for media in other libraries, make arrangements with the other
library, not Media-Microtext.)
- Reserve a room. There are no viewing rooms in Green Library,
but Meyer Library has several classrooms
where you can show videos and DVDs. For films consult Jim
Kent, Coordinator of Media-Microtext Services (jimkent@stanford.edu,
725-7263). The University's Events
and Labor Services provides additional projection and video
services.
- If you do not already have privileges
for checking out media, go to the Privileges Desk on the 1st
floor of Green Library to get an extended
media borrowing card.
Need to put media on reserve for your class so that your students
can use it in the library on their own?
