Bagnaia Town Square Branson DeCou Archive UCSC Visual Resource Collection

Visual Resource Collection Loan & Viewing Policies The Visual Resource Collection is a limited circulating collection. Only UCSC faculty and registered students may borrow slides for use in classes conducted on campus. Persons with staff, courtesy, or special cards may use the Collection only in McHenry Library. The Visual Resource Collection maintains two individual slide viewing carrels. During the renovation, our Viewing Room is not operational; please talk with VRC staff if you need special arrangements for slide viewing. Loan Periods: Faculty- One week Students- Same day circulation Loss or Replacement: All borrowers are subject to billing for material which has not been returned to the Visual Resource Collection, or for material which has been lost or damaged. Borrowers are billed for an estimated replacement cost of the material plus an additional processing charge. Student Viewing and Circulation: Students must make appointments to view slides. Appointments must be made one day in advance and are for one-hour periods, beginning at 10:00 a.m. daily. Appointments may be made by phone (831-459-2791), in person, or by e-mail. Students wishing to give class presentations on campus may preview slides selected from SlideCat. A list of the selected slides for preview must be given to the Collection staff one day in advance of scheduled viewing appointments. Reserves: Faculty members may place slides on reserve in two ways: For smaller classes, reserve slides may be viewed at the Visual Resource Collection's individual viewing stations. For larger classes, faculty may choose to have reserve slides scanned and displayed using ERes, the Electronic Course Reserve System for the University Library. Alternately, instructors may use ARTstor to set up image reserves. For more information about image reserve options, please contact the Visual Resource Collection staff.
