AV Repair/Maintenance
Ordering Audio-Visual Materials
To obtain AV materials for
classroom use, an instructor can obtain a Request Form from the
Library, the mail room in the Administration Building, or your
division office. You may also telephone our office and request
materials over the phone. If you're filling out a Request Form,
it must be filled out completely and turned in to the Faculty
Video office or put it in the LRC mail box
Were here to help you
out. Well do everything we can to process your order in
a timely manner. We ask that videos be requested at least 24
hours in advance.
Audio-Visual Pickup
Videos can be picked up at
a variety of locations. You can pick them up from the library
or from various division offices. Please indicate on the request
for, or when you phone us, where you would like to pick up your
video.
Audio-Visual Return
In order to meet commitments
made to other instructors, AV material must be returned in a
prompt manner. The return date is always indicated on the label.
Although there are times you may feel that your need is the top
priority, the truth is the rest of us feel the same way so avoid
conflict with other teachers by respecting the return date which
is always indicated on the label. Should you wish to keep material
beyond that date, call the Library to see if an extension is
possible. If no one else is in line to use it, your request will
be honored.
Tip: In the past we had a slight problem
with media disappearing from instructors boxes, only to
learn later that teacher so-and-so showed that film or video
in her class when it had been ordered by another instructor.
Since the routing system has been expanded, with delivery to
mail rooms in division offices, that problem has lessened greatly.
However, you should be warned that there are still poachers out
there who think nothing of robbing your students to give to their
students. Talk to the instructor, your department chair, or your
division dean if this occurs.
Audio-Visual Purchases/Previews
Each year the Media Center
purchases AV materials which become part of the Fresno City College
Audio-Visual Library. Instructors are encouraged to preview and
recommend for purchase those materials deemed most pertinent
to curriculum.
Tip: Some publishers offer free
AV materials to encourage instructors to select their texts.
Often those materials are useful to other teachers. Making them
available to other faculty by placing copies in the Library is
appreciated.
Audio-Visual Equipment
Most divisions have specific
frequently-used items of equipment conveniently located in their
areas. Check with your division office for the location of this
equipment. In some cases, equipment is permanently placed in
some classrooms. But if you need equipment that is not available
when you wish to use it, call the Media Center for assistance.
This equipment will be placed in your classroom by the Media
Center staff for the time requested. The staff work hard to transport
equipment quickly, but because there is a high demand for some
equipment and only ten minutes traveling time between classes,
equipment may not always make it to your class room as quickly
as you do.
If you are aware of equipment
which needs repair or is not functioning correctly, please notify
the Media Center ASAP.
Tip: Any teacher who use slides frequently
would be advised to request a spare bulb for the projector. Keep
it in your brief case so you can replace a burned-out bulb without
having to wait for someone to run over from the Media Center.
Equipment placed in your classroom
by Media Center staff will be picked up by Media Center staff.
Please help to keep FCC equipment on campus by properly securing
your classroom upon leaving.
Tip: Rule of ThumbWhen in doubt,
call the Media Center, ext. 8206.
