Information for Faculty:

Faculty members are encouraged to put videotapes and DVDs on reserve in the Jones Center for use by their students for the entire term. Media and online resources are seamlessly integrated into a single course reserve list, and you need only submit one reserve list for both physical media and streaming requests.

Requirements for online (streaming) course reserves:

1. Please plan ahead. Allow 3 days for requests and additions to be added to course reserves.
2. All media must be in the library catalog and on reserve.
3. To order new titles please contact your subject specialist.
4. You may request to stream a maximum of 10 films/episodes per course.

Items requested by more than one professor will be put on reserve for the first professor who requested the item. Course reserves may be used in the Center by any student/patron, whether or not they are enrolled in the class. Any reserves item checked out of the center requires written permission from the professor of the course. Professors can email permissions to jones.media.center@dartmouth.edu.
