Reservations
MacPro stations are reservable in advance for three hour time blocks. A video camera and digital camera may be borrowed for in-Library use. Patrons are responsible for saving and storing their own files and must provide their own recordable media for exporting files and projects—CDs, DVD -Rs, or portable hard drives. The Studio will not be responsible for any files left on Studio computers.
Copyright
We suggest all users make themselves familiar with relevant Information about copyright. We will require patrons to submit a “Checklist for Fair Use Form” when using copyrighted material in presentations. The Studio maintains a collection of royalty free media which patrons can use in productions and also provides links to web sites that incorporate public domain images, sound and audio clips which you can capture.
