Library audiovisual streaming collections come with licenses that cover educational use for our campus community. Other uses of our online audiovisual materials may require additional licenses. (e.g. screenings open to the public)
Online audiovisual material that is behind digital locks (accessed by passwords) and accessed via personal user accounts like paid-for digital streaming services such as Netflix, Prime, Crave etc. are for personal use only and unless otherwise noted cannot be used for shared classroom use without an additional educational streaming licence being obtained.
Public performance rights are no longer required when you’re using cinematographic works for educational purposes, whether they’re in physical formats like DVDs or VHS tapes, or in digital formats that are legally posted on the open public internet without passwords, user agreements, or digital locks.
Material that is not available in the TMU audio visual collection may be obtained from external collections, including those of other Ontario universities. TMU students, faculty and staff who hold active library cards may book items from other collections. Two weeks’ notice is required to book external items.
To book AV material not owned by TMU:
*Please do not forget to specify show dates when submitting Booking requests*
CCS has upgraded all podium computers in classrooms and lecture halls with units that no include optical drives. You may either bring your own portable USB DVD player or book one from Media Services (CCS) in Kerr Hall (KHE227).
Note: TMU Library Audio-Visual is not responsible for booking AV equipment or for repairing faulty classroom projectors, televisions, VHS or DVD players.
If you require audio visual equipment for class use or are experiencing technical difficulties, please contact Media Services for assistance.
