3 day loans, with circulation student staff leeway to extend up to 14 days provided there are no bookings in the Aleph Booking Module (auto-prevents extension beyond X hours of advanced booking). Beyond that, all patrons need to request an extension or renewal through the Multimedia Consultant, which is granted on a case-by-case basis pending demand. On some titles that are instructor specific, we have extended up to a month.
We have a limit of 2 renewals typically, but for more than 2 weeks we often will suggest short term or semester long course reserves, with the understanding that we may be requesting to mediate, with instructor permission, a short term loan to another instructor for class screening or patron viewing onsite in the case of reserves.

VIDEOLIB is intended to encourage the broad and lively discussion of issues relating to the selection, evaluation, acquisition,bibliographic control, preservation, and use of current and evolving video formats in libraries and related institutions. It is hoped that the list will serve as an effective working tool for video librarians, as well as a channel of communication between libraries,educational institutions, and video producers and distributors.
