Audio visual equipment is provided throughout the campus to students, faculty, and staff by the Office of Academic Technical Services located in the Audio-Visual Learning Center (AVLC) in the Fine Arts Annex 113. The office is here to assist you with your classroom presentation needs as well as your general audio-visual needs. 

Academic Technical Services provides an array of equipment that may be checked out at the AVLC. Delivery service for equipment is available for classroom use on weekdays during our regular business hours.

Equipment Available 

• LCD projectors for computer and video
• Overhead projectors
• Slide projectors (limited availability)
• PC laptops (for classroom presentation only)
• Video recording and playback systems 
• Portable audio cassette recorders
• Compact disc players 
• PA sound systems for large and small groups

The ATS service staff asks for a three-day advance reservation for most equipment, though some equipment, especially video camcorders and LCD projectors, require up to ten days in advance.   

Limited equipment is available for immediate check-out. Professional staff will be happy to discuss the particular needs of a project or event and arrange for the future availability of equipment. Reservations are best made by calling the office directly and speaking to an audio-visual assistant. Reservations can also be intitiated by filling out an Equipment/Service Request form and delivering to our office in person or via campus mail.

Equipment Checkout Information and Policies

• The AVLC requires three days notice for each reservation. Availability of equipment or staff to deliver equipment cannot be guaranteed with less notice
• Maximum three-day checkout for high-demand equipment (Mini-DVcams, LCD projectors, Laptops, etc.)
• Pick up your equipment on time! If customers do not pick up equipment within 2 hours of their scheduled time (or call us to notify us they will be late), their reservation may be cancelled and equipment given to someone else. Repeated reservation of equipment with failure to pick up, may also result in suspension of check-out privileges.
• Return your equipment on time! Or, if you must return it late, call and let us know that you cannot get it back on time. Other people who have reserved equipment are counting on its availability. Late return of equipment is more than sufficient grounds for cancellation of all equipment use privileges.
• $10/day late fees apply for high-demand equipment.

Additional Services Provided at the AVLC 

• Audio and video duplication (subject to applicable copyright laws)
• Cassette to CD transfer (subject to applicable copyright laws)
• Blank video and audio media purchase (Mini-DV, DVD-R, CD-R, audio cassette)
• Language audio tape check out 

Most of the college's collection of audio tapes, records, discs, films, video tapes, DVDs, and slides is located in the F. W. Olin Library. Materials may be checked out for use in the library's audio-visual review rooms only. Customers are welcome to review their own materials in these rooms as well.
