The Media Center, home of Media Services and SU Libraries Audio/Visual Collections, is located on the third floor of the Alson H. Smith, Jr. Library on the main campus of Shenandoah University in Winchester, VA. The Media Center also includes a classroom, study area, and rooms for listening to and watching audio and video resources.

Media Services helps faculty, staff, and students select, obtain, and use the appropriate audiovisual equipment for their academic needs. Questions? Please contact the Media Services Coordinator, David E. Chávez, at dchavez@su.edu.

Policy for Copying Audio and Video Recordings:

Media Services will make one copy of any audio or video recording for educational purposes. The copy will be provided as a computer file, DVD, or CD. If you would like multiple DVD or CD copies, you must provide blank media (blank CD-R and DVD-R discs) for the additional copies. To request a copy, bring the original recording to the Media Center and fill out a Copying Request slip.

If you are unable to pick up your copy at the Media Center, you may have it delivered to you for free as a digital download. If you would like us to ship you a CD or DVD copy, the library must first receive a check for:

$15 for the first recording
plus $5 for each additional recording shipped in the same package.

Please include the delivery address on your request and we will contact you to arrange payment.
