How to access
Users with a valid TCard or Library Card may borrow from the Media Commons.
Most circulating films and games are available for 2 week loan. Technology and course reserves circulate on short-term loan (hourly or daily). Most researchers prefer to view microform in-house, but arrangements may be made for lending.
All circulating items carry a $0.50 per hour/day fine rate, and all renewals are only considered upon request.
Access to the Media Commons Archives collection must be arranged by contacting an archivist.
