Reserving Videos

The library owns a number of excellent DVDs and videotapes that faculty may use to support programs in various disciplines. All DVD's and videotapes are listed in the Library catalog.

You may reserve DVDs and videotapes owned by the Eden-Webster Library System to show in your classes by or by filling out the online form or sending an e-mail to av@webster.edu.  We send DVDs and videotapes via a commercial 2-3 day delivery service.   

This is a heavily used collection and you should, therefore, reserve your DVD or videotape as far in advance as possible. We prefer at least a two week notice. Conversely, please return the DVD or videotape promptly as other Webster faculty may be waiting to use it.

If you are interested in showing a videotape or DVD which we do not own please contact the Instruction and Liaison Services Librarian  assigned to your department. 

If you have any questions, call the Audiovisual Services Department at 314-968 5994, 800-985-4279 or see our web page for more information.
