Equipment Avaliablity and Checkout

Students and Faculty may check out:   Digital still cameras, digital video cameras, tripods, wireless microphones, portable LCD projectors and a travel projection screen.

Students must have a responsible faculty member check out video cameras,  wireless microphones, LCD projectors and the screen in the faculty member’s name—they will not be checked out directly to any student.
Also available for faculty-only checkout are a laptop cart of 20 Dell Latitude laptops (for use only in Wham and Pulliam) and individual laptops (limited supply, various Dell models).

All equipment is available through the Multimedia Center for Teaching and Learning (MCTL) in Wham 110 on a first come, first served basis.  Some equipment can be checked out on semester-long loans, availability permitting.  Equipment can be reserved in advance by calling 453-2727 or e-mailing mctl@siu.edu.  If e-mailing, please supply requestor’s name and office number, course name and number, location, date and time needed.

Students and faculty must provide photo identification when picking up equipment.
For classroom use in Wham and Pulliam, the MCTL has two laptop/projector/DVD/VCR units available on a daily basis.  The MCTL also has six TV/VCR units available as well.  Some of the units have DVD players included.   When requesting these items, be specific about capabilities needed, e.g. VCR or DVD playback, and about the size of the classroom in which the equipment will be used. If a classroom is large, it is often preferable to send a projection unit, if available, rather than a TV monitor, even if a computer is not needed.  When possible, the equipment will be delivered to and picked up from the classroom by MCTL workers.  

• For classes that start after 4:00 p.m., the equipment will be delivered either to the faculty member’s office or to Wham 210 (open until 10:00 p.m. Monday-Thursday) for pickup by the faculty member. 
• For classes that end after 4:00 p.m., the equipment will need to be returned by the faculty member to Wham 210 for pickup by MCTL staff the following morning.
