Information Processing and Management

Information Processing & Management (IPM) is responsible for a variety of technical services within the University Library, including electronic course reserves (e-reserves), print reserve processing for the Undergraduate Library and Central Circulation and media reserve processing for the Undergraduate Library, course and research related media acquisitions, and media cataloging. As part of the University Library's Technical Services Division, we also participate in a wide range of special projects to support library-wide initiatives.

The Undergraduate Library staff handles media bookings.

While IPM does not have a service desk for walk-up assistance, we are happy to field any questions by phone or email.

 

VHS players removed from classrooms

During the 2009-2010 fiscal year, CITES removed VHS players from their "smart" classrooms. Information Processing & Management (IPM) is aggressively pursuing DVD and/or streaming media replacements for VHS titles that are requested for reserves.  The Library is not equipped, however, to handle converting one media format to another if not available commercially. Please use the Reserve Purchase Request Webform to request DVD or streaming media replacements for VHS tapes you are accustomed to use for classroom showings and/or reserves.

The ATLAS (Applied Technologies for Learning in the Arts & Sciences) website contains information about their Media Duplication & Conversion services, including a page covering Copyright Restrictions.

Some tips for using VHS copies in classrooms:
