Media Rental

We can rent videos for you.

We need two to three weeks advance notice. Rental costs range from $10.00 to $250.00 per use.

The video or film that you need may not be available when you need it; please choose an alternate showing date.

Titles can be rented for 3 to 10 days. If you are unable to show the video or film during that time, an extension can be requested. The lender determines whether the video can be renewed.

Media Purchase

Media Services  purchases video tapes for instructors. Some titles are not available, or are out of print.

Please provide as much information as possible. Include the copyright date, vendor (if available), running time, and subject matter.

Media Services can search for you. Give us the subject and a general description; we will look for titles that may be appropriate.

Prices of tvideo tapes differ greatly depending on availability, vendor, and subject matter. Titles that you see on television are usually more economical than specialty videos. Plan your purchases - specialty videos can cost up to $800.00 per tape. Media Services has a limited budget for media purchases. You may be asked to pay for the tape with division funds, or wait until the next fiscal year to purchase the tape.

If Media Services purchases the tape for you, the tape is housed in Media Services Videotape Library. If your division purchases the tape, the division is responsible for it.

Media Requisitions

Media Services will generate all Media Purchase requisitions if a purchase is requested through our office. We also sign-off on all media purchases across the campus. (See Equipment Purchase for full description.)

Media Cataloging

All titles in Media Services Video Library are listed on the Holman Library database. When we receive a new title, we enter all pertinent information into the database. This way anyone on campus can access the database and see what titles are available.

Media Services has a detailed list in our office. We can send you a list of titles.

Reserving Equipment and Media

You can reserve equipment or media. Please call the Media Center at ext. 2108. You can send us email at mediacenter@greenriver.edu . Or drop by at HLB131.

Equipment and Media Delivery

Media Services delivers media equipment or media materials to your classroom. Please give twenty-four hours notice for scheduling purposes.

Satellite Downlinks

Media Services receives information for upcoming satellite events from vendors across the country. We keep a list of all events in our office. Divisions across the campus also receive information of upcoming events. If you wish to receive a program via satellite on campus we will order it for you.

Satellite Acquisition Procedures

If there is an upcoming event that you would like us to receive please give Media Services the following information:

• Date of show
• Title
• Room needed
• Cost

We will order the event for you. This includes setting up the licensing agreement with the vendor, getting all the technical information necessary for receiving the program, and completing the requisition and sending it to your office for the appropriate signatures.
