FAQ Section
Q: Is equipment available to both faculty/ staff and students?
A: Multimedia equipment located inside the library and Multimedia Room is available to both faculty/ staff and students. However circulating equipment (equipment to be checked out and taken out of the library) is only available to faculty/ staff at this time.
Q: I am an NWACC faculty/ staff member needing to reserve multimedia equipment for checkout. How do I do this?
A: The best method of reserving equipment in advance is through the use of the online booking form. This form asks specific questions regarding date, time and place/purpose of equipment use to allow the multimedia department to better serve your needs. It also allows statistics to be kept on equipment to gather valuable information regarding frequently used equipment and provide insight as to possible future equipment purchases.
In the case of an immediate equipment need, the multimedia specialist may be reached by email at sblagg@nwacc.edu or by phone at 619-4297.
Q: Does the Multimedia Learning Center handle issues with classroom projectors and computers?
A: For basic operational problems (such as no video or sound, file retreival issues, required program updates, etc) the multimedia specialist may be able to provide assistance regarding classroom equipment. However, for non-functioning equipment such as broken computer parts, downed network connections, blown or malfunctioning projector bulbs, etc. please contact the IT helpdesk at techsupport@nwacc.edu or by calling 619-4357.
Q: Can the Multimedia Learning Center provide assistance for non-NWACC related activities happening on campus?
A: If the activity is specifically related to learner development for NWACC members, the MLC may most certainly provide assistance. Please try to give as much advance notice as possible regarding activites, presentations, etc. for which assistance is needed in order to avoid scheduling conflicts and/or delays.
