Responsibilities of Staff

• The lab will be initially prepared in a clean and efficient manner for ease of use and instruction.
• A staff member will also instruct the patron on the basic usage of the equipment. This will be based on the needs of the patron.
• The staff member will assist with moving the data captured from the SCIM Lab to a hard drive provided by the patron

Responsibilities of the Patron using the SCIM Lab

• Patrons will bring their I-Card to verify booking
• Patrons will be responsible for bringing a storage device (preferably USB 3.0 or faster) to save the data once the video shoot is completed (or check out an external drive from the Loanable Technology Center). Generally, we will keep a copy of the files on our SCIM Lab machine for at least one week; however, DO NOT RELY ON THE SCHOLARLY COMMONS FOR LONG-TERM STORAGE OF FILES – THE HARD DRIVE OF ANY OF OUR MACHINES MAY BE WIPED AT ANY TIME.
• Patrons will come prepared to shoot the video and will have rehearsed/memorized their script.
• Patrons are responsible for any props needed.
• Patrons will follow instructions of the Staff member regarding care and treatment of the equipment
• Only individuals needed to shoot the video will be allowed in the lab.

Please note that the library is not responsible for any damage that may occur on equipment as a result of media borrowed from the library or used internally.
