A student that needs to reserve (2-3 business days in advance) Data Projector, Camcorder, Video Projector, PA System, Karaoke unit, and a Mobile Presentation System, s/he must get a Montclair State University's stationery letter typed from a faculty/staff and the letter must state their name, ID number, and the reservation date of the equipment.

Camcorders
Faculty and Graduate Assistants may borrow VHS camcorders to video tape their classes.  The VHS camcorders are simple to operate and the TSS/AV Services will provide training by appointment.  Faculty may also arrange for students to reserve and borrow camcorders under their name by e-mail or by letter on University stationery. TSS can also recommend the purchase of digital camcorders.

Network Connections
The University Help Desk (x7971)  will make arrangements or confirmation for network connections.   They will forward these requests to the appropriate Information Technology group. Computers may need to be configured for a particular room or building. Please plan for rehearsal time at least a day before your event for special presentations with computers, data projections, network connections, and telephone lines. Please have a contingency plan.   

Contingency Planning
Even with a rehearsal, hardware, software and network connections can fail. If you are using the Internet, have a simulation on your laptop or DVD in case the network fails. If possible, have a video or a related topic.

Laptops & Data Projectors
A limited number laptops and data projectors are available for presentations. Equipment may be borrowed over night and returned the next day, or on a Friday and return on Monday morning. Students may borrow this equipment for classroom presentations with a memo from a professor on university stationery or via E-Mail.  Equipment can be put on reserve by emailing the University Help Desk, helpdesk@mail.montclair.edu
