Equipment Loan Changes Fall 2009
Mann Library is reviewing its equipment loan and multimedia support operations and its capacity to properly provide these resource intensive services in an efficient and helpful manner. As part of this review, the following changes occurred effective August 5th:
- Camcorder loans are temporarily suspended. Our list of other campus equipment lenders may provide alternates sources.
- Equipment will not be reservable. All equipment loans will be on a first-come, first-serve basis only. Current availability can be checked on this web page, or by phone at 255-3296.
While we regret these changes, we hope to provide improved and sustainable equipment and multimedia support in the future.
Peripherals and Accessories
The additional equipment page lists other items, including peripherals, available on a walk-in basis.
A Panasonic DMRES45V VHS to DVD deck is available in the Stone Computing Center on the first floor (map it). It is attached to a Sharp television for viewing. Basic instructions for transferring footage to DVD are posted next to the unit. A detailed manual is available here.
Although Mann Library does not have a public fax machine, there are numerous free online fax services available as well as public fax machines scattered across campus; these are described on the Fax Services page.
Equipment Support
Limited support is available for equipment and specialized workstation users. We highly encourage faculty and teaching assistants to utilize the STAP program for audio and video project support. Most support Mann Library offers is in the form of self help materials, including manuals and quick guides (click item description in table above for links). If you are using one of the Apple applications (e.g. iMovie, iDVD, or Final Cut), the Apple Support site may be helpful, including iMovie tutorials iDVD tutorials. We also encourage users to look at instructional opportunities at Cornell, including Mann, CIT and ATC workshops.
