Audiovisual Classroom
Revised March 5, 2003
This multi-purpose classroom on first floor of the library is equipped for video, audio and computer presentations. It has a large screen and projectors for video, computer-output, film, slides, DVD, laser disc, and audio. The room seats up to 46 people.
The Audiovisual Classroom may be used for R-MC academic and administrative functions. Film Studies courses have priority. Individual class sessions requiring use of media may use the room, but should not schedule it as the primary meeting location of a course. Students may not use the room without the supervision of an R-MC faculty, staff member or a student trained by Instructional Services. Film showings for less than three people are discouraged; one or two individuals may use the media carrels for viewing films.
Advance reservations are required. Outside of office hours, the room will be available Sunday through Wednesday, 6:30 PM to 9:30 PM. Faculty and staff should contact Emily Bourne in Media & Instructional Support for scheduling the use of the Audiovisual Classroom.
Computer Room
Revised March 6, 2003
The computer room is intended primarily for classroom instruction in the use of library materials. Twenty-four computer stations are arranged in a classroom position and projection is aimed towards the front, where there is an instructor’s monitor and a white board. Food and drink are not allowed in the room.
The computer room may be scheduled for individual class sessions through Emily Bourne in Media & Instructional Support. Librarians have priority, with other faculty accommodated through advance approval of the Director. No classes may be scheduled on a regular basis through the Registrar’s Office, except ones taught by librarians.
A second function of the room is as an open computer lab. In order to let students know when the lab is unavailable, class sessions will be posted weekly. Librarians will try to limit formal instruction to one hour, followed by an open period of searching, during which other students may be allowed back into the room.
The room may be reserved by outside groups only in the context of an event such as Ed Tech, which is held when school is not in session.
Media Production Room
Revised March 3, 2003
This room contains one PC, one MAC computer workstation, a flatbed scanner, a slide scanner, a photographic copy table with floodlights, and computer-based video editing system.
The room is primarily used by the Instructional Technology staff for producing media materials for the College. Faculty, students and staff may reserve the equipment to work on computer- or media-based projects in the room.
The Production room is available for use during the hours that the Instructional Technology office is open, typically Monday – Friday, 8:30 a.m. – 5:00 a.m. Advance reservations are required. Faculty, students and staff should contact Emily Bourne in Media & Instructional Support for scheduling the use of the room.
Special Collections Room
Revised April 24, 2003
The primary purpose of the Special Collections Room is to serve readers using the collections. The books in the glass cases are from the Methodist Collection and our collection of rare books (published before 1850). Researchers in Special Collections may at times use the room if the researcher study area is in use, with materials brought to them from the Special Collections stacks.
The secondary purpose of the Special Collections Room is to serve for meetings and presentations. It is equipped with audiovisual and electronic equipment, screen, and blackboard. The central table accommodates 18 chairs comfortably. Food and beverages may not be consumed in the room without the approval of the Director. Meetings scheduled past scheduled library hours must also receive approval from the Director.
The room may be reserved through Emily Bourne in Media & Instructional Support. It may not be scheduled for a standing class, but would be appropriate for final class presentations.
Because of the preciousness of the room’s contents, groups must lock the door behind them when finished. Failing to do so will lead to losing permission to use the room in the future. |
