Media Production

General Information

A wide variety of both full and self-serve production services are available, from photocopying and scanning to computerized presentations and video editing, our staff will work hard to accommodate your requests.  Let us know your goal and give us adequate notice, and we're sure we can satisfy your multimedia needs.  If in doubt...ask!  If you need assistance or simply want to know if something is possible, call the CTL at ext. 5617 to inquire.

Training, Project Assistance and Costs

Staff can provide instruction on how to use self-service items or classroom equipment as well as support other types of media production needs.  Remember that planning is key.  The more notice we have, the more successful (and less stressed) you will be.  Production turnaround is typically five days but may vary according to size of project and peak times—it is best to plan early and coordinate with CTL staff to ensure the successful completion of your project.  Charges are based on cost of materials and will be billed to the requesting department; personal projects may be accommodated with approval if time and materials allow.
