POLICIES & GUIDELINES :

Equipment, Reservation & Checkout Policy
Audio/visual equipment is available for short-term checkout by NIC faculty and staff for instructional use. Because equipment is limited, priority is given to faculty for educational applications. Equipment may be picked up in Boswell 214 between the hours of 8-5 Monday through Thursday and 8-3 on Friday.

*	Equipment may be reserved for up to 24 hours by calling IMS with your name, department, extension, and relevant course number
*	Equipment is not available for permanent checkout
*	You are encouraged to make reservations a minimum of 24 hours in advance

Production Lead Times
Production services are generally undertaken on a first-come, first-served basis. Lead times depend on the scope and complexity of each project and where it falls within the service production hierarchy:

Number 1	Those projects requested by faculty or departments that report directly or indirectly to the Office of Instruction, which includes the following: faculty, division chairs, distance education, professional-technical program faculty & division chairs, College Skills, WFTC, ABE/GED, and the Molstead Library. This rank also includes requests from the President’s office.
Number 2	Those projects requested by other NIC departments. These projects will be accepted if time allows and may be moved down the scheduling tier if an instruction-related project conflicts with projects of this ranking.
Number 3	Those projects requested by outside sources (Unless personally specified by the NIC President to receive a higher ranking).

Please take these ranking into consideration before submitting an IMS Program/Services Scheduling Request Form. IMS A/V equipment will NOT be checkout for personal use or commercial use.

Lead times for CD-ROM, audio and VHS duplication will vary according to the volume requested. When requesting graphic design projects that require word processing or data entry, please provide IMS with the data saved to floppy disk, ZIP disk, Thumb drive, CD or on an accessible SPOCK Temp Folder. Although we will make every effort to beat our minimum lead times, we urge you to plan your schedules with the following lead times in mind:

*	Simple Video Production: 30 days (more complex projects will require a longer production time)
*	Video Dubbing: 1 week
*	Digital Photography: 3-4 weeks
*	CD-ROM & Cassette Duplication: 2 weeks
*	Color Posters and Fliers: 1-2 weeks
*	Web Design: 2-3 weeks

IMS is a first come first serve office with priority given to instructional projects.
