The OIT Media Center loans media equipment as a courtesy to the St. John Fisher Community. Equipment Loan approvals are subject to an academic purpose and equipment availability. Equipment is approved on a "first come, first serve" basis. To request equipment, use our online form or email oitservicedesk@sjf.edu. Completing the request form does not guarantee approval for the requested equipment. The requestor will receive an approval and confirmation email from a Media Technician when a request has been approved and scheduled for setup and or delivery. Two business days advance notice is required for all requests. Once approved, the equipment will be ready for pick up from the OIT Service Desk (Kearney-053) at the specified time. An Equipment Loan Form will need to be completed and SJF ID Card shown when the equipment is picked up from the Service Desk. The Equipment Loan Form states that the customer is responsible for the well being and proper use of all equipment while it is in their possession. Equipment Loans are normally granted for maximum of 2 business days, however loan extensions can be granted under certain circumstances. It is the customers obligation to supply the information needed in a timely manner before an equipment loan can be approved.
The OIT Media Center will do its best to provide the necessary support, cabling, and or materials to ensure the equipment will be sufficient for the customers needs. The customer is responsible for obtaining their own consumable materials for any equipment associated with an Equipment Loan (i.e. Flipchart paper, batteries, markers, VHS Tapes, Audio cassette Tapes, miniDV tapes, etc.). The OIT Media Center will not be responsible for any incompatibility issues with a customer's equipment and college A/V equipment.
