About Media Services

Housed on the first floor of Lied Library, the Media Resources section collects media in all subject areas and in a variety of formats in support of the university curriculum. This collection includes such items as videocassettes, DVDs, audiocassettes, and streaming videos [1] for use in the library and classroom. Along with this collection, multimedia computers and laptop checkout services are available to the campus community.

A media distribution system is available that enables the electronic delivery of selected media directly to specific desktop computers or viewing stations and meeting rooms in the library.

The Information Commons area of the first floor has 97 computers available and houses the Library Computer Help Desk (895-2101). This desk is located at the west end of the Research and Information Desk and provides general guidance with various software packages, laptop authentication, and remote access support.
