The Video Collection at the SLU Libraries
St. Lawrence University Students, Faculty, Staff, and Emeriti can use the video collection. Associated College Faculty may also borrow videos. Policies for borrowing videos are detailed for each group on the circulation policies pages.
Where Are they?
DVDs and VHS tapes are located at the Circulation Desk in ODY, and they can be borrowed during regular library hours.
All DVD's and VHS tapes are in ODYsseus, the SLU Libraries' Catalog, and you can browse a list of new videos.
Renewals
To renew videos patrons should either stop by the ODY Circulation Desk or call Rick Sprague at (315) 229-5815, or rsprague@stlawu.edu.
Showing on the Campus Television Network
SLU Faculty can request that a VHS tape be played over the campus television network by contacting Nancy Szafranski at (315) 229-5595. There is also an online request form.
Films on DVD cannot be played over the network; check out DVD's at the ODY Circulation Desk.
Holds
Patrons are allowed the option of placing a hold on a title that is currently checked out. The patron will be notified that the item is being held for them at the ODY Circulation Desk once the item has been returned.
Lost Videos
All videos that are not returned or are lost will be subject to a replacement fee that will be determined by the Library staff.
What About Playing Region 2 DVDs?
We have and do receive requests from faculty to purchase Region 2 DVDs, and the Collection Development office honors those requests. (Region 2 in DVD geography is Japan, Europe, South Africa, and Middle East). While Region 2 DVDs will not work on many DVD players sold in the United States, DVD viewers in Carnegie Hall classrooms will play Region 2 discs. To reserve one of these rooms for an evening or weekend time slot contact Laura Ramsey, 5996. For more information, see Viewing videos on campus.
