Fall Semester |
As Fall 2006 approaches, AVS would like to welcome you back to LIU. We would like to remind you of our policies to ensure that the campus community enjoys the full benefit of our services:
- All AV Requests must be placed in person at least one week in advance (by the professor or an authorized staff member) and will not be accepted through interoffice mail, via email, phone or fax. Last minute orders will be honored only if equipment is available.
- AV Requests listed as “Permanent Orders” will be honored from the first through last day of classes as listed on the LIU Brooklyn Campus Academic Calendar. If you require equipment during Finals week or Intersession, please file a separate request.
- For your convenience the forms have been color coded as follows:
| |
Yellow - Standard Request Form (Humanities, Main, LLC, HS)
Green - Health Science Request Form (HS Conference Halls 107, 119, 121)
Pink - VIP/Special Event Request Form |
- If you require AV equipment for an on-campus special event, please submit an AV Request form in addition to your Room Reservation. The forms are available in the AVS Office or can be downloaded from this website . Please make sure you select the appropriate form, enter the time and date, building and room #, check off all the equipment you require, sign the form and hand it to an AV staff member for review and approval. .
- Equipment delivered to your room, remains your responsibility until it is returned or picked up by AVS staff. In order to prevent further theft or damage of equipment, please do not leave any Smartcarts, Laptops, etc unattended. If a class is cancelled, ends early, or if there is a room change please contact us ASAP and have a responsible person remain with the equipment until it is picked up by AVS. Upon signing the request form you agree to these terms. Please remember that you and your department will be held accountable for damaged or missing items and forfeit permanent order status.
- We would like to remind faculty that due to the increasing volume and demand of some equipment, we implemented the following changes: AVS no longer delivers portable CD/Cassette Players, Video Cameras, Overhead or Slide Projectors to classrooms, labs or lecture halls. Anyone requesting these items will be responsible for pickup and return. We will continue to deliver TV/VCR/DVD carts, LCD Projectors, Smartcarts, and Sound Systems. As always we will continue to provide technical support, instruction and usage of equipment.
- As technology advances, so must our services. This may concern many who take advantage of our Smartcart setups. We’ve slowly begun to phase out certain items, such as Zip and Floppy Drives. Also, several professors have recently attempted to open CD-RW disks using AVS Smartcarts. The PCs on these mobile carts are not equipped with CD-RW drives and therefore may not be able to read disks that have not been finalized. We recommend the back up your presentations on a finalized CD-R or USB jump drive.
- After using the equipment, please take a moment to retrieve your belongings. While we are happy to return any items found, we cannot be held responsible for these items.
We look forward to working with you to make this year a successful one. Feel free to call ext. 1348 or visit us in Pratt 325, if you have and questions or special needs.
Thank you,
The Staff at AVS
