| Requests for slides to be added to the collection are welcome from College of Architecture (CARC) faculty. Requests should be made at least one semester in advance and limited to 36 slides per semester. See the curator for more details and to pick up a request form.
Donations of slides are appreciated, but they must meet certain standards, including quality, coverage, and demand before being added to the collection.
Copyright laws. This collection contains copyrighted slides and duplication of them is a violation of federal copyright laws. Any form of slide reproduction from this collection is prohibited.
Care of slides. Slides should not be projected for longer than one minute. They should be kept away from exposure to moisture, humidity, direct sunlight, and fluorescent lighting. When slides are not in use, they should be kept in a protective slide box. They should be transported and returned with care.
Pulling slides. Patrons pull their own slides from the slide files. Staff will be available to orient patrons regarding use of the collection, to assist in locating slides, and to complete a circulation form.
Circulation boards. Slide borrowers must place circulation boards in the slide drawers in the exact location of each of the slides they remove. See slide room staff for boards if necessary.
Circulation period. Slides should be borrowed for the time of the lecture only and for no longer than two weeks for CARC faculty. Prompt return is encouraged to avoid any conflict with the teaching schedules of other users.
Returned slides will be checked in and refiled by the slide room staff.
Inventory. At the end of each semester, inventory is taken and overdue notices are sent for missing slides. A replacement charge of $5.00 per slide will be assessed for lost or damaged slides.
Using slides off campus. Faculty requesting permission to use slides for lectures given off campus should make requests to the curator at least two weeks in advance. Loans of this nature will be allowed only if they do not interfere with the current teaching program.
General Policies for Students
Since the slide collection is primarily a support resource for faculty within the College, college faculty will have first priority in the collection at all times. Slide borrowing is limited to two students at any one time using the collection. Whole classes of students cannot be accommodated in the slide collection since this would cause a depletion of necessary resources. Students are advised to make appointments to use the collection.
Restrictions. Students may borrow slides only for presentations. They may check out a maximum of 25 slides for the time of the presentation only. No overnight checkout for students is allowed. Slides may be selected and reserved for up to one week in advance of checkout.
Circulation form. Borrowed slides must be recorded on a form signed by the student and by the instructor of the class for which the presentation is prepared. This form and the student's ID will be held while the slides are out.
Circulation period. All slides must be returned immediately following their use.
Fine. A replacement charge of $5.00 per slide will be assessed for lost or damaged slides.
General Policies for Faculty Outside the College of Architecture
The Slide Collection in the College of Architecture functions primarily as a teaching resource for the faculty of the College, providing slides for lecture and research purposes. The slide collection lends slides to faculty, staff, and students affiliated with the College of Architecture; however, borrowing privileges may be extended to others in the university community if this borrowing does not directly interfere with the internal needs of the College of Architecture faculty.
Appointments. Faculty requesting borrowing privileges should make an appointment in advance to use the collection.
Circulation. Slide borrowers are required to pull their own slides from the slide files.
Circulation Boards. Boards will be assigned to the borrower to be used in slide drawers; a circulation board is to be placed in the exact location from which each selected slide is removed. Staff will be available to orient patrons regarding use of the collection, to assist in locating slides, and to complete a circulation form.
Circulation Period. Slides may be checked out for one week, but prompt return is encouraged to avoid any conflict with the teaching schedules of College of Architecture faculty.
