From: Audio Visual Services (AVS)

In the past, Audio Visual has sent several memos listing policies and procedures. In each memo, we have asked for your assistance in being alerted to class cancellations or room/time changes. The following is also printed on each request form:
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. In order to prevent further theft or damage of equipment, please do not leave any smartcarts, projectors, laptops, etc unattended. If a class is cancelled, ends early, or if there is a room change please contact us ASAP (extension # 1348) and have a responsible person stay with the equipment until it is picked up by AVS. If it is not possible for someone to remain in the classroom until AVS arrives, please either return the cart to our office (Pratt 325) or bring it to a secure location and inform us where it can be found. We thank you for your cooperation.
While some professors have remained diligent in their efforts to work with us and made calls or even returned their own smartcarts without being asked, many times we find ourselves delivering unnecessarily or worse having unattended equipment stolen from empty classrooms. In the past year, we have experienced three thefts of equipment that was left unattended.
For these reasons, while AV will continue to attempt deliveries, we can no longer do so before the scheduled classtime. When we arrive, if the professor is not present the equipment will be returned to AV and a notice will be left for you to contact our department.
We apologize for any inconvenience this may pose and thank you for your cooperation. Feel free to call ext. 1348 or visit us in Pratt 325, if you have any questions or special needs.
