Media Center Equipment and Services

Only Faculty and staff may request equipment. Please make the request directly. Call Extension 350 or 458 with your requests during normal business hours. We cannot be responsible for voicemail requests. It is important that you get your requests in early because equipment is limited and available on a first come, first served basis. We require at least 48 hours notice to ensure availability and delivery.
Laptop computers can be used to show a slide presentation, a web page, a DVD, a CD-ROM, and much more. Our laptops are loaded with Microsoft Office 2003 (includes Power Point,) as well as video players such as Real Player, Quicktime, and InterVideo WinDVD (DVD Player.) Please let us know which application you plan on using when you make your request so we can make sure everything is working properly before we do the setup.

Multimedia Projectors are most commonly used alongside our laptops in Power Point slide show applications. As some may not know, these projectors can be used with other sources such as VCRs, DVD Players, and Document Cameras.

TVs, VCRs, and DVD Players are familiar to most people these days. Most academic classrooms have TVs and VCRs mounted on the wall. There are still a few places where classes meet that do not. We have them on carts so we can take them most anywhere you need them. We also have TVs, VCRs, and DVD Players in the Media Center for patrons to view media any time the Media Center is open.

Duplication Services are available through the Media Center. These services include audio and video cassette and DVD duplication. The person making the request is legally responsible to secure copyright permission for taping an event. Blank tapes must be provided for taping not destined for the library collection. Audio tapes are $1 + a blank tape; video tapes and DVDs are $2 + blank media.

Laminating services are open to Wilmington College as well as community patrons. This service is provided on a first come, first served basis, and are performed by the Media Center. No self-service. Please call in advance to let us know your needs. Be prepared to wait overnight for your job to be completed. Any requests deemed excessive may be reduced in quantity. We can laminate items up to approximately 26 1/2” wide. We charge 50 cents per linear foot for laminating.
