Audio+Visual+Equipment

· Hardware such as cameras (video & digital), radio/CD/cassette players, laptops & portable data projectors are available from the workroom. · Teachers should **book** these and must **borrow** them through the AV or circulation desk computers. If sending a student, written permission is necessary. All items must be returned promptly & ready for use (eg photos removed, etc) as bookings are heavy. · If you want a student to borrow equipment overnight for curriculum purposes, you need to write a note indicating this & they must then collect a proforma letter to be signed by their parents/guardian. · A/V resources (dvds etc.) may be searched via the library catalogue eg if searching for a dvd on Ancient Greece, type in //video// and //ancient greece//. · Teachers may request programs be recorded from TV for **classroom use**. See Sue or Library Tech or email. You will be asked to preview the program, give comments, Year level etc. · Requests to purchase DVDs should be via your KLA Leader who will pass on the details to the AV librarian who writes the order. ·  The Theatre is used for large school/community events & its use is restricted in order to minimize wear. It has a data-projector, VCR/DVD & can be **booked** via the Library. Priority is given to large group and “film as text". Year level assemblies take precedence over all other bookings.  ·  **NOTE: The school policy restricts the viewing of programs according to the following ratings: ** Please note that all dvds should have curriculum value.
