Audio Visual Borrowing Policy

Videotapes, CDs, and audiotapes can be borrowed for a 5-day period for faculty and staff. Faculty members are allowed to borrow three (3) videotapes at a time. All tapes in the Southern New Hampshire University videotape library are subject to copyright laws. NO COPYING OF VIDEO TAPES IS ALLOWED!!

THERE ARE THREE MAIN BORROWING FUNCTIONS:

• In-House Reservation
  
  Allows a faculty member to reserve a tape for a specific time period (one month, a semester, two weeks, etc.). If you want In-house reserve videotape, be sure to give at least a 72-hour notice to ensure receipt of the desired videotape. This applies to videos that are on reserve in the AV studio for a specific period of time; i.e., students come into the lab to watch a video assigned by a faculty member. Students may not take videotapes out of the lab. THERE ARE NO ACCEPTIONS. Students are required to leave their student ID with the AV staff while viewing the videotape. When the student returns the videotape, she/he will get her/his ID back. (FACULTY:IF YOU ASSIGN A TAPE FOR STUDENTS TO WATCH IN THE A/V MAKE SURE YOUR STUDENTS KNOW THE CATALOG # OR THE NAME OF THE TAPE)
  
  
• Pick-up Reservation
  
  This applies to videos that are on reserve in the AV studio for a specific date; i.e., faculty requires use of the tape for only one day for classroom viewing. This applies to Manchester Campus only.
  
  
• Off Campus Reservation
  
  If you teach at one of the off-campus centers (Salem, Nashua, Portsmouth, Laconia or Brunswick ME). You still have access to the SNHU videotape library. In order to borrow a tape you need to contact the office of the center where you are currently teaching:
