Faculty and staff can book videos from any campus collection for specific dates to show in their classrooms. Northern Lights College is also a member of MEC, the Media Exchange Cooperative, which allows bookings of videos from participating B.C. college or university libraries. Since videos circulate for various time periods to library borrower, it is important to make your bookings as far in advance as possible (at least two weeks) to ensure availability at the time you need it.
Note that these services do not include renting videos from local video stores to show in the classroom. For this service, see the Feature Film License policies.
Please note that, due to licensing agreements, etc. not all videos in other library catalogues may be available to borrow. Unauthorized copying or duplicating, or other showing of videos outside the classroom is prohibited by law and carries stiff penalties.
PREVIEWING:
Videos may also be borrowed from libraries or from the distributors (e.g. Criterion, Audio-Cine, NFB) for previewing. Borrowing from other libraries is free of charge to you. However, most distributors charge a fee and this cost must be borne by the faculty member or department. For more information, call the Coordinator of Library Services at 1251.
BOOKING:
- In person at your campus library
