Audio Visual Services

All patrons may borrow up to three titles at a time for up to one week at a time. Items may be renewed provided they have not been reserved by faculty for classroom exhibition or course reserves.

All patrons are subject to an overdue fine of $1.00 per day per item.

Because of the video reservation services we provide, AV media must be returned to the AV Service Desk. It may be returned to Young Library Circulation Desk should AV services be closed.

A valid UK or BCTC student ID containing an identifiable photograph is required for checking out a laptop. Maximum checkout period is four hours, renewable if no one is waiting for a laptop. A late fee of $10.20 per hour will be assessed.
