Who moved my video?


The Library's Audiovisual Room has undergone a makeover this summer!  Many older, unused VHS tapes have been removed. Frequently used VHS have been ordered in DVD format, shelving was removed. The result is a brighter, more spacious room with materials that faculty use frequently. This also means things aren't on the shelf "where they used to be."  Use the Library catalog to locate call numbers. And don't forget  Films on Demand for educational streaming video!
