Media Computer Center Policy

 

Policy Number:

012

Policy Title:

Off-Campus Use of Media Equipment

Policy Description:

This policy provides guidelines for the use of Media Equipment off-campus.

 

 

General

Portable media equipment is defined as that equipment which has been designated by the manufacturer as portable and has a protective carrying case included. Media equipment that meets this criteria may be taken off-campus by CLC faculty or staff to be used in an instructional setting at other CLC locations such as the Staples Campus or the Little Falls High School where classes are conducted regularly. It may also be taken off-campus for use in special presentations by faculty or staff at other locations.

Examples of Portable and Non-Portable Media Equipment

Portable media equipment includes certain models of filmstrip projectors, movie projectors, slide projectors, and camcorders. Much of this equipment is well suited for portable use. Adequate protective cases have been included with the equipment.

Non-portable media equipment includes desktop models of liquid crystal display (LCD) projectors, laser disk players and overhead projectors that have not been designed for portable use. Protective cases are not available for this equipment.

Protection and Preservation of Media Equipment

Media Equipment such as Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) Projectors are costly.  Repair or replacement funds are scarce. This policy is intended to protect the value of this equipment and insure that it is in good condition for its intended use in the classroom.

Requests for Off Campus use of Equipment by Outside Groups

No media equipment, portable or non-portable, will be loaned or rented to other governmental agencies, non-profit organizations or businesses for off campus use.
