Reserve Material

For Students: These videotapes can be checked out using your student ID, free of charge, at the front desk at both MSLC's offices on the Busch Campus (ARC Building, 618 Allison Rd., 3rd floor, Piscataway) and the Douglass Campus (Chemistry Building, 50 Bishop St., 3rd. floor, New Brunswick). They can be viewed ONLY in the Classrooms and Video Rooms at the MSLC with available VCRs and TVs. Because our Video Rooms holds up to 4-5 students, we welcome groups. At the end of viewing, please rewind the videotape and return it to the Front Desk.

Unfortunately you cannot take the videos home/dorm for viewing.

For Faculty and Staff: If you have other interesting videotapes and they can be use in connection with your course, we will be glad to add them to our collection and make them available for students.
