Stony Brook patrons may check out 3 videos or 3 DVDs only. Any requests
for exceptions must be approved by Jeanne Horn or David Weiner. Only members of the
University with valid IDs (or those approved for courtesy borrowing)
are allowed to check out videos.
Audio-visual material (Videos and DVDs) are due back in 7 days. Audio-visual
(AV) material can be renewed 3 times. Reserve videos cannot leave
the Main Stacks (except by faculty when shown during class).
No exceptions will be made. There are no recalls for AV material.
Staff will place a hold on AV material for faculty, only if needed
for classroom use or Reserve.
The viewing room is to be used mainly for Stony Brook audio-visual
material. Although we allow the viewing of personal videos and DVDs,
priority will be given to Stony Brook material. The library is not
responsible for damage to personal videos or DVDs.
Patrons viewing class reserve material have priority over other users
(Stony Brook students or general public). Headphones may be used in
the viewing room and will be checked out for a four-hour period. Under
no circumstances are they allowed to leave the area. A valid picture
ID (driver's license or any other appropriate identification document)
will be required to access the room.
a) One Reserve Video or DVD at a time.
b) Patron must have a valid ID.
c) Instructors should make sure that the name(s) of all TAs in charge
of borrowing AV material appear on the Reserve form.
d) Any faculty member interested in showing AV material to their
class which has already been placed on Reserve will need to complete
a Booking Request form.
Permanent Reserve
We are building a Permanent Reserve to include additional copies of
videos and DVDs on reserve. Any title you wish to include in this
permanent reserve should be sent to Paul
Wiener (the audio-visual librarian).
Permanent Reserve is located behind the Circulation
Desk on the third floor. This material is restricted due to their
cost (over $200), content (classics, extremely popular, susceptible
to theft), and difficulty to replace. They are due back in 2 days.
Overdue Videos: $1 per video per day. Delinquent patrons will
be billed after 10 days. Any patron accumulating a $5 fine will be
blocked from borrowing. Lost Videos. A $100 replacement
fee will be imposed for any lost AV material. Found or replaced items
will be subject to a $10 late service fee for all patrons. Items not
returned after two months will be subject to an additional $10.00
fine. Patrons may opt to replace lost items at their own expense.
However a $6.50 fee for processing cost will automatically be imposed
in addition to the $10 late service fee when AV material is replaced.
The following groups may check out audio visual material:
- Alumni
-Emeritus
-LILRC staff
-Renaissance Technology staff
-Long Island High Tech staff
-Osher Lifelong Learning Institute (formerly: the Round Table) members |
