Where can I get Audio-visual (A/V) equipment?
Televisions and VCR machines are distributed around campus. A number of classrooms on campus already contain TVs, DVD, and VCR players. If the classroom you are using does not have this equipment, it can be
obtained from various academic departments on campus. We've gathered information
about those locations here. The
technology-enhance classroom teacher stations are also equipped with both VCR-DVD combination units
and campus cable feeds that are projected by means of a permanently installed
LCD projector. You
can reserve them for the University Center events by contacting the
Reservations office. The Reservations office also
has other equipment for use in this building. Please check with that office
for more information.
LCD projectors and laptop computers can be borrowed from
Davee Library. Some academic departments have their own slide projectors,
so checking with your department is also advised. Transparency Projectors
are located in almost every classroom on campus. If the room that you plan to
use does not have one, please contact DoTS.
If I need help setting it up, who do I ask?
DoTS will perform setups of audiovisual equipment such
as televisions, computer projectors, and sound systems only for University academic activities. We believe this is the only reasonable strategy that
will permit us to keep up with the large and growing demand for access to electronic
presentation technologies. We will, however, provide training as needed.
If you need assistance with this equipment, please contact DoTS. Please indicate the dates and times of your event
so the A/V staff can plan preparation times accordingly. If you have preferred
times that you want setup or teardown to occur, please indicate this with your
request.
My equipment doesn’t work! What do I do?
In case you do have trouble, please contact
DoTS. If you need immediate assistance, call us. A technician will be notified and dispatched to your location immediately. If
it is a non-emergency repair issue, the Helpdesk will prepare a trouble ticket
and direct it to the technician.
How do I set up this equipment?
You may request a training session when you reserve equipment. A qualified DoTS staff member can demonstrate how to
set up any of the A/V equipment here on campus. We also hope to provide specific
instructions in this location for some of the equipment in this location soon.
