The Library has AV resources in a number of formats, including 

• CD

• DVD

• VHS

• LP records

Some of this material must be used in the Library, at viewing and listening stations in the Media Viewing Area, located next to the Service Desk on the main floor. But a great deal of it--including telecourses, music CDs and cassettes, books on tape, and over 600 feature films on video and DVD--may be charged out and taken home. Borrowing periods vary. For details, see Parkland Library Borrowing Privileges.

Information for Instructors

Previewing Videos

Contact Rena Moore, Library Technical Assistant for Aquisitions, at rmoore@parkland.edu if you would like to preview a video prior to recommending its purchase by the Library. Note: any video priced at $150.00 or more must be previewed and approved before purchase.

Assistance in Locating AV Material the Library Should Own

If the Library does not own AV materials appropriate for use in your classes, and you would like some help in identifying good choices among the range of materials available, the Information Services Librarians will be happy to help. Just call the Information Services Desk, at 373-3839.

Placing AV Materials on Reserve

AV materials owned by the Library--or any materials you yourself own and would like to make available to your students--may be placed on Reserve in the Library for use by your classes. When you are ready, you can place your request at the Service Desk in person, you can email Pamela Colvin, Access Services Assistant II, at pcolvin@parkland.edu, or you can place your request electronically using the Instructors' Reserve Request Form.

Booking AV Materials in Advance

Booking in advance is a way to make sure the audiovisual items you need will be available when you need them. Just tell us the dates you need them, specify titles with call numbers, and we'll make sure they're on the Advance Booking Hold Shelf for you to pick up in plenty of time. When you are ready, you can place your request at the Service Desk in person, you can email the library directly with the details at library@parkland.edu, or you can place your request electronically using the Audiovisual Advance Booking Request Form.
