Equipment Availability
Audio-visual equipment is available for use by department
faculty, graduate student instructors and students in support of
classes and other department sanctioned activities. A slide and
overhead projector are provided in all department classrooms and are
accessible via key. (Keys are issued by Dan Plumlee). All items
listed above are available on a checkout basis.
Please note: media projectors and televisions are
restricted to use in McCone Hall.
It is best to schedule equipment needs at the beginning of
the semester, but 2 weeks advance notice is the rule. Please keep in
mind that some resources are scarce and are reserved to the first
person who provides the necessary information.
It is important to record and monitor long-term, blanket
equipment reservations. Please update reservations as your needs
change in order to avoid scheduling conflicts and to free reserved
equipment for others when you no longer need it.
We will do our best to accommodate walk-in equipment
requests, but cannot guarantee immediate access to the staff or
equipment. It is the responsibility of the user to reserve such
equipment beforehand.
Reserving Equipment
Equipment reservations can be made by contacting Dan Plumlee
via telephone (642-4368), e-mail (dplum@berkeley.edu)
or by dropping by the office in room 519 McCone. If you leave your
request as a message, consider the reservation made upon receipt of a
confirming return message.
To reserve equipment, please supply the following
information:
- your name
the equipment you wish to use
the class title
the classroom number
the time and duration of the class
This information will be entered into a scheduling program
currently accessible to Dan Plumlee, Delores Dillard and Nat
Vonnegut.
Pick-up and Return of Equipment
To gain access to projection equipment at time of need,
contact Dan Plumlee, or Delores Dillard if he is not available. In
the event that neither Dan nor Delores can be located, the other staff
may be able to help.
When returning equipment, make sure that you leave it secure
in its proper storage area or in the hands of department staff. If
no-one can be located, secure the item in your office and message the
staff person who issued you the equipment.
Please note:
If you require equipment setup or retrieval
you must schedule this specifically with Dan Plumlee at least 2 weeks
in advance of the class period. A standard equipment reservation does
not include this service.
All users of computer projected media are encouraged to
schedule a debugging session with Dan Plumlee at least 30 minutes
prior to show time. Keep in mind that the projector is only a monitor
and problems with the interface generally lie with the computer and
are the responsibility of the computer owner.
