Reference for Media Resources
Media reference supports include individual consultations, class presentations, referrals and online guides, in locating quality media resources, producing multi-media projects and integrating media into teaching and learning.
The online Media Resources Research Guide is a comprehensive gateway to media resources within the library, outside of Lesley, and online. The Guide includes media collection information, information about the Center's equipment, facilities and supports, and invites consultations with media professionals for faculty and students.
Robin Feinland, Media Resources Specialist, is responsible for the Kresge Library Media Center collections
