About
the Library: Departments
Media
Center
Located
on the 5th floor of the LLC building, the
Media Center has a collection of 6000 videos, DVDs,
laser disks, slides, audio tapes, CDs, CD ROMs and multimedia
kits for use by faculty and students. We also have 15
viewing/listening stations, which can be used by one
or two people, and three classrooms that can be used
for group viewings, or can be reserved for classes.
The majority of our collections are catalogued in LIUCAT.
For directions on using LIUCAT
for media materials, please look here.
Our opening hours are posted here. You may reach the Media Circulation
Desk at (718) 246-6388.
Circulating
Collection
Items
in the circulating collection may be borrowed by any
member of the faculty or the student body with a valid
LIU I.D. and a library barcode (free at the Circulation
Desk) Up to 3 titles may be borrowed at a time, for
a period of 3 days. The circulation of multi-volume
titles will be determined at the discretion of the Media
Centre staff. Overdue fines are $3.00 per day, per video.
Media
Reserve/Reference Collection
The
Media Center provides students with a place to review
materials used in class, and the Reserve/ Reference
collection is meant to ensure that these important curriculum
materials are equally available to all students at all
times.
The
items in this collection are to be used in the library,
in the Media Center, for at most a few hours at a time.
In order to ensure that these materials are available
to the students and faculty who need them, it is necessary
that the library strictly limit the out-of-library circulation
of these items.
For
a complete list of our Circulation Policies,
please look here.

Collection Development
policy is here, and
a form to request the purchase of new materials is here.
If
you are planning to show a video or other multimedia
item in class, you must book the viewing equipment (VCR,
monitor etc) from the Audio-Visual Department a week
in advance. The AV Department is located on the 3rd
floor of the Pratt building. For more information call
