Good morning Lisa, We allow faculty to check out two videos at a time for 7 days. Sometimes we make exceptions (like a multi-volume set). We also do lend out films to faculty who have fines on their record which at times, can lead to very interesting discussions.
Even though we are part of a university system, we do not allow faculty from other colleges to check out our videos. We used to lend videos to other colleges, but too many ended up missing.

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! Best, -lisa Hooper Music & Media Librarian Howard-Tilton Memorial Library Tulane University [email protected] 504.314.7822 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.
