FAQs and Tips

In general, the Media Center is not a lending library, meaning that the books are meant to remain in the Center and not be loaned out. Textbooks, dictionaries, and other teaching materials can be lent out for the duration of a seminar (2 hours) or for an examination at the student assistant information desk. DVDs can only be viewed in the Media Center.
