    Course Reserves

    Faculty may place MLK media inventory or their own media on course reserve for their students to watch in one of our three media viewing rooms. The media will  be kept on reserve for a single semester unless otherwise notified. After the semester, the media will be returned to our inventory, to its owner, or department mailbox.

    You can view VHS and DVD media in the Instructional and Resources Center (IRC) by utilizing one of our viewing rooms.

• Requirements

  • You will need your scannable SJSUOne/Tower ID card to check out media.

    All library media at the IMS will be checked out via the library’s online checkout software (ALMA Ex Libris). IMS Staff are not able to dismiss library fines for late media and items.

• Cost

  • No additional cost, however if you need a particular video or DVD that is not currently in the MLK library inventory, you can ask your department to purchase it for you.

    We may then place your media on course reserve to be viewed in-house at the IRC.
