DVD and video collections: Faculty for 1 week (7 days) with a 20 item limit. Faculty can also book titles for specific dates and longer loan periods. Students and staff for 3 days, 5 items. Community: in-library use (we are considering extending this to 3 days, 5 items). All renewals must not conflict with faculty bookings. We also do "extensions" (change the due date) for faculty, as needed. We have a 3 day grace period.
Our health science library loans media for 4 weeks with 2 renewals for all patrons. We have found that undergrad loans have a higher risk for long overdue, lost, and not responding to recalls for classroom and reserve needs. Therefore, please provide a mechanism for faculty to book films in advance to assured access! We did a review of faculty bookings several years ago. Two popular patterns emerged: 3 days and 10 days met the majority of faculty needs. The next most requested loan periods were 2 days and 7 days.

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!

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.
