Acquisition of Materials

The Media Library purchases audiovisual materials to support the curriculum objectives, classroom instruction, and independent learning at MTSU. We welcome faculty suggestions for new videos and films we might add to our collection. Priority will be given to titles that faculty preview and evaluate.
(NOTE: some vendors do not allow previews and almost all feature films will be unavailable for preview)
Gail Fedak, Director, Media Resources, also purchases audiovisual materials based on professional review. Please read our collection development policy for more detailed information.

Faculty Requests

• Faculty member fills out Media Purchase/Preview form with titles s/he wants purchased for the collection.
• Media Library Coordinator, Jean Reese, requests preview from distributor if program has not previously been seen.
• Faculty member previews and evaluates (in writing) the program requested.

New Materials list is available online to see new titles added to the media collection each month.

Manager's Choice
