HIRC Media Policies

The following policies are in effect in order to facilitate access to the HIRC Media Collections by all members of the School of Humanities for research and teaching. With over 700 items in the collection, tracking of resources is critical. Thank you for your cooperation. Feel free to contact us if you have any further questions or comments regarding these policies.

STUDENTS:

Undergraduate students are not allowed to take any media out of HIRC. Videos, LaserDiscs, and CD-ROMS can be viewed in the Labs only. Graduate students who are currently teaching and need to preview a film for use in class may check it out overnight only. If showing a movie on more than one day, it must be returned to HIRC in between.

FACULTY:

Faculty may check out video tapes overnight for preview, or longer for research purposes. Longer checkouts must be arranged on a case-by-case basis with HIRC Director or Administrative Assistant. Film Studies affiliated faculty who are currently teaching may check out any video tape for the quarter. All Film Studies faculty (teaching or not) may check out Film Studies-owned holdings on a quarterly basis. Exceptions must be arranged on a case-by-case basis with HIRC Director or Administrative Assistant. End-of-quarter notices will be sent (vie email or hard copy) for all outstanding media to be returned. If a longer loan is needed, materials must be accounted for and re-checked out.
