View / Checkout Media

Unsure what media checks out or what has to be viewed in the library?

Media in the library may be one of five types. Each type has its own location and loan rule. The easiest way to determine a media location is to check the library catalog. The location will list either "book shelves," "media shelves," "instructional TV," or "reserves."

 

What does NOT check out?

Classroom media

  • Primary use is for faculty to use in the classroom.
  • Item shelved on media shelves.
  • Location in the catalog is "XXX - Media Shelves" e.g., EVC - Media Shelves.
  • Items circulate to ACC faculty only for classroom use for 3 days.
  • Other users may view in the library.

ITV videos

  • Items shelved by course number on media shelves, e.g., ARTS 1303.
  • videos for all ITV courses are in each library.
  • Location in the catalog is "XXX - Instructional TV" e.g., CYP - Instructional TV
  • Users may view in the library.
  • Note: These may not be checked out by anyone so that they are available for viewing in the library at all times
