Media Services is located on the ground floor of Paley Library.
The Media Services desk can be reached by phone 215-204-8204 and email tulmedia@temple.edu.
Media Services circulates the library's collection of videos (VHS and DVD), CD-ROMs and a small number of audio CDs & cassettes. Media can be checked out by anyone with a Temple ID for a period of 7 days. Media is not renewable.
All media material is listed in DIAMOND, the library online catalog. Search by title, director, actor, subject, or by keyword through the catalog's Video/DVD tab.
We conveniently offer faculty and instructors the ability to place media on reserve for their classes. Individual carrels for media viewing (DVD & VHS, all regions), film editing using Final Cut Pro, as well as several small group viewing rooms, are available on a first come, first served basis. Contact our service desk for more information.
Media Services staff also provide assistance with locating and using the micromaterials (microfilm & microfiche) and Government Documents collections, both located on the ground floor.
