We have no real limit on the number of items, but films check out to faculty for 3 weeks and to staff for 1 week. Renewals are possible. Extended checkout is occasionally arranged. Reserve DVDs and VHS tapes are typically set for 4-hour loans but can be adjusted to whatever time period suits the faculty member.

They can renew up to 4 times. The only exception is if it is on Reserve - then students have 2 hours and have to watch it here in the Library and faculty and staff can only have it for 3 days to show in class. We have made exceptions if they are prepping for a class and need a couple more than 4 but we don't get that request often. Hope this helps Beth Media and Reserve Library UW-Milwaukee On 10/27/2011 08:52 AM, Hooper, Lisa K wrote: Good morning everyone, Our library has what I believe is a very generous circulation policy for our media items but a handful of my faculty complain vociferously that it is too restricted. Could those of you with an academic media library collection share how many films a faculty member is allowed to have out at one time and for what duration? Your information is much appreciated!

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.
