Crerar Library now offers AV equipment for use in study rooms

Starting this quarter, Crerar Library is checking out AV equipment for use in Crerar’s study rooms.  The equipment is available on reserve for faculty, students, and staff with current borrowing privileges.

If you’ve ever wanted to record a practice presentation to watch back later, you can now check out an HD video camera and tripod from the circulation desk.  Once you’re finished, simply attach the camera to your computer with a USB cable and move the file(s) over.  

If you’re giving a lecture and need a projector, a screen, and a moderate amount of space, you can now find all of those things at Crerar.  Projectors are available to check out at the circulation desk, and four group study rooms have been equipped with screens.   The projectors attach to most laptop computers, however some may require an adapter.  

All equipment can be charged for up to 4 hours, but will be due 30 minutes before the circulation desk closes.  Please see our circulation hours before checking out to make sure you’ll have the time you need.  A full list of policies  and instructions will be included with both the camera and projectors.  If you’d like to ensure that the equipment will meet your needs feel free to contact us via our online form (choose Crerar Library from the list) to arrange a time for a demonstration; if you believe you may need help with set-up or have specific technical questions, we recommend contacting us ahead of time.
