What are course reserves?
Instructors may place media items, such as videotapes, DVDs, and audio recordings, on reserve for students to view in the library. Reserves generally check-out for 2 or 4 hour loan and are in-library use only. This way a greater number of students can use them in a shorter amount of time.
How do I check out course reserves?
Come to the Media Center service window and ask for the item by title and course name, i.e. "Bride of Frankenstein for English 497." For lecture videos, ask by course name and date, i.e. "Biology 200 for April 28."
Find course reserves for a specific class.
The Media Center only carries lecture videos for select classes which are recorded by Classroom Support Services (CSS) or individual departments. Additionally, CSS offers digital lecture recordings for some classes, which can be accessed from any computer with a UWNetID.
If you would like to suggest an item be added to the collection, use the online Purchase Request Form. Please indicate whether the item is to be used in a course and how soon the item is needed.
To browse catalogs of films and documentaries available for purchase, see the list of commonly used Media Distributors.
If you have questions about media selection, or need assistance locating materials not already in the collection, contact medialib@u.washington.edu. The Media Selector reviews all requests and makes purchase decisions based on the UW Libraries Media Center Collection Development Policy.
How do I access films and other titles from the Educational Media Collection (EMC)?
The EMC (formerly held by CSS in Kane Hall) is in the process of being integrated into the UW Libraries. Due to preservation and cataloging related concerns involved with this process, we require a minimum of 15 business days advance notice in order to ensure availability of a title.
NOTE: this collection is no longer available to users outside of the University of Washington or Summit network.
