Policies

Service Charges  There are no charges to faculty, staff or students for use of Media Services equipment or services for college-related activities. There are "materials" charges for production supplies, presentation graphics, printing, purchase of audio and video tapes, and tape duplication fees. There are rental fees charged to off-campus groups using college equipment. Due to time and staff limitations, we are unable to provide services for personal use.

Operators

Due to limited staffing, Media Services does not provide operators for our equipment. Our staff will test equipment, and in certain circumstances, setup and deliver equipment. We do provide one-on-one instruction either at the time of setup or at a pre-arranged time.

Copyright

Media Services follows the Code of Conduct for members of the Consortium of College and University Media Centers with regard to copyright matters.

"Whereas, we believe that a balance must exist between the rights of the producers and distributors of the works which we collect and disseminate and the privileges of ourselves and our patrons who benefit from their display; and Whereas, we understand that if the owners of audiovisual works are denied their legal right to actual and potential revenues that may be derived from their works, the net effect will be a decline in the production of audiovisual materials, and whereas, we consider infractions of copyright law to be equivalent to acts of theft."

Media Services provides maintenance and repair to the Kishwaukee College audio visual inventory. Our staff test and evaluate new equipment for its effectiveness in education, as well as for durability and ease of use.
