Instructional Media Services: Rental Information

Services Provided
Instructional Media Services (IMS) primary function is to support undergraduate classes. To the extent resources are available, IMS also provides limited audio/visual (A/V) support for non-classroom events and activities. Although IMS is not sufficiently staffed to provide labor to operate A/V equipment, IMS can help in locating an on-campus person or outside vendor for hire, or train the event coordinator how to operate the A/V equipment him/herself.

Procedure for Ordering A/V Equipment and Services
When ordering A/V equipment or services, IMS requires sufficient advance notice. Requests must be received at least two (2) weeks in advance for small events (e.g. one piece of traditional A/V equipment, such as a single microphone, overhead projector, TV/VCR). IMS requires at least three (3) weeks notice, to ensure adequate preparation time, for more elaborate events requiring set-up and/or operation of complex systems (e.g. data/video projection, sound reinforcement for music, video recording, theatrical lighting, five or more microphones, and requests for support outside of IMS field support hours listed below). The Director of IMS will determine if it is possible to utilize IMS equipment and staff, or if such support must be contracted. Advance planning is extremely important with such events.
