Student Guidelines:
NOTE: It is a violation of copyright law to copy any materials purchased by or created by Mt. San Antonio College. Please turn off cell phones while viewing materials. Please use College-owned equipment for viewing materials.
- VIEWING ROOMS:
- NO FOOD OR
DRINK
Please leave drinks, other than water, and any food outside of the library. If you are observed eating or drinking anything other than water in Media Services, you will be asked to leave.
- NO CELL PHONES
Please turn off cell phones and pagers while in the viewing
rooms. If you forget and receive a call, immediately ask to
return that call at a more convenient time. If you continue
to talk, you will be asked to leave.
- WEAR HEADPHONES
Our viewing rooms are not soundproof. Please remember to plug in your headphones. If you need assistance, ask a staff member to help you. If you have brought your own headphones, you are welcome to use them instead of Media Services headphones.
- VISITING
Talking is disruptive to others. If you need to talk, please book a library study room (must have two or more students) at the Library Check-out Desk. Please do not have your friends come into the viewing rooms. Go outside if you need to talk. If you are gone longer than five minutes, we reserve the right to remove your personal items from the viewing station and you could lose your place. The College cannot be responsible for unattended personal items.
- VIEWING MATERIALS
Viewing stations are available for viewing Media Services materials or materials that have been placed on reserve by faculty. You need a Mt. SAC student ID for viewing videos, DVDs, or listening to CDs in the viewing rooms.
- LEAVING PERSONAL
ITEMS IN VIEWING ROOMS
Media Services cannot be responsible for any personal items
left behind in viewing rooms.
- CHECK-OUT PERIODS
During peak usage periods, there is a two-hour limit or the
length of a feature film that is assigned by faculty for the viewing stations and materials. Although all our materials,
except for CDROMs, are available for in-house student viewing
and listening, students with assignments have first priority.
Viewing stations and materials must be renewed every two hours
or the length of a feature film.
- USING MATERIALS IN CLASSROOM PRESENTATIONS
If you need a video, DVD, or CD for a presentation, your instructor must check out the material for you to use in class.
- GROUP STUDY
There is a limit of one student per viewing station in the viewing rooms. If there is more than one student who wishes to view a video or DVD, a Library study room with a VCR or DVD player and TV must first be checked out from the Library Check-out Desk. A current Mt. SAC student ID must be left at the Media Services front desk and will be returned when the video is returned. The only form of identification that will be accepted is a Mt. SAC student ID.
- CHECKING OUT MATERIALS FOR HOME VIEWING
Only math videos that accompany math textbooks, The 4 Motifs, Anatomy CDROMS, Child 10 Observation and Child 10 Interview videos are available for student check-out for home use. All other materials must be viewed in either the Media Services viewing rooms or the Library study rooms.
- RETURNING MATERIALS
Media materials may be returned to the book drop that is located outside on the wall next to the entrance doors to the Library. A drive-up book drop is located behind the Information Kiosk near the main College entrance off Grand Avenue. Materials may be placed in these book drops 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and during school breaks.
- PLACING MATERIALS ON RESERVE
During peak times, we can reserve various titles for you. If you
are more than ten minutes late for your appointed time and there
are others waiting, we cannot hold the material or viewing station
for you.
- CITING MEDIA MATERIALS
