Video Collection

Over 1500 DVDs and video tapes are available for loan to current Lesley students, faculty and staff. Videos circulate for a 48-hour loan period. Faculty teaching off-campus may request an extension of up to one week.

All videos are catalogued in the Library's online system, FLO, and videos and DVD titles in the Ludcke Library may also searched via the online video catalog at http://media.dymaxion.ca/Lesley . In addition, a printed catalog (click here for .pdf (over 200 pages) with annotated alphabetical title listings and a subject index (click here for .pdf) are available for browsing at the Kresge Center circulation desk.

Reservations are accepted at the Kresge Circulation Desk (617-349-8860) on the second floor of the library. Videos must be picked up at the Kresge Center circulation desk. They may be returned either at the Kresge Center Circulation Desk or dropped off at the Library's Porter drop box located on the 3rd floor of the Porter Exchange building.

A growing number of Lesley videos are available online, accessible from myLesley. [myLesley/TAB:myLibrary/MediaServices/Online Video]. In addition, dozens of educational videos are avaliable from public websites: http://www.lesley.edu/library/guides/research/media.html.

Finding Videotapes from Other Sources

The Kresge Center offers assistance in locating other, outside sources for video rental or loan for those who do not have access to the main campus, for those needing videotapes longer than one week, or for those who would like to use videotapes that are not in the Library's collection. These include local libraries, web sites, distributors with rental services, and large university film/video rental centers. Patrons make their own arrangements for rental, delivery and return. Faculty members may coordinate this with their departments. A list of college and university film and video rental libraries are listed here.
