Media Services
Reserve/Schedule Media Equipment
To reserve and schedule media equipment, please contact the Help Desk (helpdesk@clarku.edu, 1-508-793-7745)
Media Services will confirm all reservations via email once we enter them into our reservation system. This generally happens within one-three business day of a request. If you do not receive a confirmation, please call to follow-up on your request.
All equipment is available on a first-come, first-served basis. For reservations of equipment or services that involve staffing/delivery/software installation, we request two weeks notice.
If you do not require delivery, feel free to contact us with as little as one business day’s notice. Assuming inventory availability we should be able to meet your needs.
Curricular, recurring or long-term reservations
In cases where a faculty member is requiring or suggesting students make use of Media Services equipment to complete projects, we request that the faculty member give us advance notice so that we can ensure we have adequate resources available to accommodate potential need.
In the case of recurring requests for projector carts, we will first look to meet requests in one of the university’s technology-equipped classrooms or teaching labs.
Weather and our ability to deliver equipment
Weather and building conditions impact our ability to deliver equipment. If we are unable to meet your needs or accommodate your reservation, we will let you know as soon as possible and work with you as best we can to find an alternative solution.
