Mini DVD's can be purchased at many major electronics retailers such as Best Buy, and may be available at the University Bookstore in the future.

When purchasing recordable DVD's, note the types that are compatible with the college's current equipment:

  • Multimedia workstation - DVD+R and DVD+RW disks. Neither DVD-R nor DVD-RW will work.

DVD R's can be written to once; experience has shown that DVD RW's are good for about 20-30 recordings.

Reservations are required. The workstation is available for reservations 8:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m. Monday through Friday via the Outlook calendar "Multimedia Workstation".
