About Using Videos in Class
Emory University Instructors are encouraged to use films and videos from the Heilbrun Music and Media Library collection in their Emory University classes. We recommend booking these items in advance in order to avoid the possibility that the item is already being used by someone else.
Booking Videos for a Class
To show videos and DVDs from the library in your class, there are three steps.
1) Reserve a room (unless you are using your regularly scheduled classroom)
* For Weekday reservations: Registrar's office (404) 727-6042
* For Evening & weekend reservations: Meeting Services Office (404) 727-5355
* For Heilbrun Library's Group Viewing Room: (404) 727-1777
2) Arrange for Technical Support
* Contact Classroom Technologies (404) 727-6853
3) Book the video in advance through DiscoverE.
This function enables you to create a booking request for the item (available only for authorized users).
Faculty get seven days for all visual media except items on course reserve. Grad students get three days for DVD-LEND titles and three hours for all other media types.
Note: If you choose a range that extends beyond the loan period, the booking will not be placed.
4) Book the video in advance with the Media Booking Form
*If the film you want to book is currently on reserve, you can either fill out a paper form at the Music & Media Library circulation desk or download either the pdf or word document version:
Media Booking Form (PDF)
Please, limit your requests to one item booking per form. Email completed forms to our email at:
Allow at least one business day (M-F) for processing. For same-day or next-day service, or as an alternative to online booking, come in or call us at 404-727-1777 whenever the Heilbrun library is open. We do not accept booking requests via e-mail.
Booking Library Films for Public Viewing
To book a film, video, or DVD held by the Music and Media Library for a campus film festival or other public event on campus, you will need to obtain permission to show the material. Some items at Music and Media may already have viewing permissions - contact us at 404-727-1777 with questions.
Confirmations/Cancellations
Your booking will be confirmed via e-mail within one business day of receipt. Should you fail to receive a confirmation or notice of unavailability, please call us at (404) 727-1777. You may also call in any cancellations.
Pickups
We will hold your booked media at the Heilbrun Library for pickup at the service desk on the specified date. If you send an assistant to pick up your material, that person must officially registered as your proxy for library transactions.
Film Rental Service
The library provides film rental services for support of course offerings in Emory College and the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences. Showings must take place in White Hall or at other campus locations served by the Classroom Technologies unit of Academic and Administrative Information Technology (AAIT). Departments wishing to sponsor showings which are not intended for a particular class should make their own rental arrangements. The library’s Media Coordinator will provide information about vendors and procedures, if desired.
Please note that the library can only rent films currently in commercial distribution in the US.
Charges: For each title, the library pays up to $100 of the rental fee. The sponsoring department pays any additional amount.
The rental will be arranged at the public-performance rate whenever the public and/or the Emory community is invited to the showing, in order to comply with copyright law and licensing requirements. The instructor will be informed in advance of the cost. A showing for which the instructor is present and the audience is limited to members of the class qualifies for an educational rate.
No admission fees may be charged, nor donations collected, for any film showing arranged by the library.
Submit a request at least four weeks in advance of the screening date. Please print and mail or hand deliver the form. You will receive notification of the film’s availability. For further information, contact James Steffen at jsteffe@emory.edu | 404.727.8107 or Alfredo Villar at avillar@emory.edu | 404.727.0924.
