| Media Services can order rental films and videotapes from many sources. The local sources usually require less "lead time", but the title you need may not be available locally, so please let us know as far ahead as possible. You will need to provide us with a Requisition form with your departmental account on it to rent titles. Preview charges will be absorbed by the Library. Faculty may arrange for the rental or preview of titles through Media Services by contacting Jonathan Shanoian (x2308) or shanoianj@wpunj.edu. |

| Media Services makes available equipment loans for use either in class or for other academic and campus purposes. Please note the following qualifications:
All loan requests should be made at least 24 hours in advance of scheduled need.
Some types of equipment entail pickup and return by the borrower.
Some types of equipment are not available for individual loan; they are part of equipment packages for classroom setups.
Some categories of borrower (primarily those external to the campus) are subject to rental fees. Please note that even when subject to rental fees, equipment availability may vary depending on priority use by academic departments and schools. |
Media Services offers delivery and pickup of media equipment for classes and for faculty/staff scheduled group meetings sponsored by the University in the following locations:
(Note that there are overhead projectors permanently installed in each classroom.)
- Library
- Atrium
- Hunziker
- Hunziker Wing
- Raubinger
- Science
It is the responsibility of the requester to set up and operate the equipment. If needed, training may be arranged in advance with a Media Technician and/or Scheduling Coordinator. |
Equipment and software may be scheduled with Charlene Lovegrove, Scheduling Coordinator by memo, e-mail lovegrovec@wpunj.edu, in person or by telephone (973-720-2984) during the hours the department is open. If 5 or more events are scheduled simultaneously, requestors may be asked to submit their booking requests in writing. Because of heavy demand, requesters may not schedule more than half their regularly scheduled class in the Library auditorium. Exceptions must be approved by the Director and will be granted only in unusual circumstances. This policy is intended not to discourage the use of instructional technology but to ensure that the facilities are accessible to all. Media Services will make every effort to find alternative arrangements for requestors whose need for media equipment exceeds the classroom booking limit.
The requestor should be able to supply:
- Title of software needed
- Type of equipment needed
- Any accessories needed (e.g., extension cord, screen, cart)
- Name of requestor
- Department and phone number
- Delivery date, starting and ending time and place (building and room number)

| Confirmations cannot be given at the time of the request if the request occurs outside of business hours: Monday - Friday 8am-4pm. It is important that a phone number be left where the requestor can be reached in case there is a problem. Written confirmations will be sent through the campus mail 2 weeks prior to scheduled date. Confirmations should be checked for accuracywhen they are received. |
| Because much of the service relies upon the availability of student staff, circumstances beyond our control may require cancellation of reservations. When this happens, the requestor will be notified at the earliest opportunity. If the requestor needs to cancel the reservation, please call Charlene Lovegrove at 973-720-2984 so that others may use the equipment. |
| Equipment and software is normally delivered just prior to the scheduled time, and retrieved from the room at the designated pickup time. To minimize disruption of classes, deliveries and pickups must be made during the 15-minute class breaks. For this reason, Media Services asks that the equipment be unplugged and placed near the doorway inside the room to expedite pickup.
When delivered to the classroom, a faculty member must sign for the equipment and software before it is left. Please make sure the equipment and software title is correct before signing the form. If the faculty member does not arrive within 24 minutes after the class period begins, the equipment will be removed. The equipment will be the faculty member's responsibility until it is picked up by a Media Services staff member. Equipment must not be left unattended. |
