The Center also owns a multistandard VCR, so we can convert tapes in other formats to the NTSC standard that is used by most VCRs in the United States. Be advised that the same copyright and fair use guidelines apply. Videos from our collection must be viewed here. They only circulate to faculty in such cases where the intention is to use them in a class meeting, with the instructor present, within two weeks of the sign-out date. Faculty who need to show a non-NTSC format video may request to reserve the Satellite Conference Room for that purpose.
Information is on our reservations page .
The same rules apply to audiotapes, in terms of the legality issue. Audiotapes for students in language courses are provided to commuting students only, and no more than two tapes at a given time. Students who reside on campus and commuters whose schedules permit them to use the lab, are asked to use the digital language lab and to access the materials from our server . Other audiotapes will be copied at high speed upon demand, as long as they comply with the aforementioned provisions that are listed in the videotape section. For language tapes, see the Student Technology Assistant on duty.
