Instructional Video/DVD Purchase Requests

The deadline for submitting purchase requests:

  • for the spring semester is DECEMBER 10
  • for the fall semester is April 24

The Process

  1. Faculty members complete a Faculty Video/DVD Request Form for each program desired.

  2. Faculty members submit a copy of the completed request form(s) to their departments.

  3. Each academic department prioritizes all requests submitted by faculty. See DEPARTMENT EVALUATION GUIDELINES at end of the Faculty Video/DVD Request Form above.

  4. Departments forward their recommendations and the set of prioritized request forms to Sarah Hagerman, Circulation, 184 UCB.

  5. University Libraries faculty review requests and recommend purchases based on:

    • Departmental priority
    • Willingness of a department to share in the purchase of desired videos and DVDs
    • Quality of the program as reflected in reviews and evaluations
    • Potential of program for cross-disciplinary use
    • Equitable allocation of funds across departments
    • Total funds available

  6. Programs are ordered, and faculty members are advised by e-mail when requested items have arrived and are ready for instructional use.
