Media Resources and Reserve

Media Resources and Reserve is designed to help faculty, students and staff access the Library's regular media collections and current Course Reserve materials in both print and media formats.  Media/Reserve combines the resources of the former Media/Music and Reserve units of the Library into a single, visible, and easily accessible service point in the Upper Mall Lobby of the Main Library.

In Media/Reserve, you can access the following resources:

  • Library video collection
  • Library CD collection
  • Library DVD collection
  • Library LP collection
  • Library audiocassette collection
  • Library microforms
  • Library periodicals
  • Course Reserve Materials
  • Media Reserve Materials (Videos, CDs, LPs, audiocassettes)

In addition, we offer the following services and facilities:

The mission of Library Media/Reserve is to provide a friendly, efficient, single service point for all your non-print needs within the Library.  If you require help to this end, or have any suggestions for us, please contact:

Jason Chavez at jason.chavez@csueastbay.edu or
Panteha Paknahad at Panteha.Paknahad@csueastbay.edu


Media/Reserve Services and Facilities:

Print and Media Reserve materials are housed in the Media/Music library.  If you are a student, and wish to access any of our reserve  materials which have been put on reserve by your instructor, please visit the HAYSTAC main menu, and select Reserve by either Course Name or Instructor.

If you are a faculty member and wish to place print or media materials on reserve, please visit our Faculty Reserve page. There you can submit your Reserve requests online!

Media listening / viewing Area on the second floor, Upper Mall Lobby of the Main Library is the point at which students and other patrons can access our collection. This preview facility has:

  • Several video carrels for individual viewing
  • Private rooms for small-group showings of videotapes
  • Audio stations for cassette and CD playback
  • Sound-proof listening booths, in which up to 4 people may listen to LPs, CDs, audiocassettes, or view videotapes
  • A large group study/classroom which may be reserved in advance by calling x53770.

The Library's Media Collections:

To access the Library's media collections:

  • Students may use media materials in our Listening/Viewing Area.
  • Faculty can check-out video materials for use in the classroom. 
  • Faculty may book video programs in advance of an anticipated showdate by calling x53770 [510-885-3770] during regular Library hours
  • Videos or other formats can be checked out by faculty at the Media/Reserve Desk, in the Upper Mall Lobby of the Main Library.

If you wish to browse the holdings of the media collections:

Using the telnet version of  HAYSTAC
  • you can use a word or other search, then simply limit the results [which include all formats, including books] by where the materials are located in the Main Library:
  • choose L for limit, 
  • then F for the Media Collection, or G for the Music Collection,
  • then F to "find."
  • You may also limit (modify) by Material Type (e.g., Sound Recording, or Music, Printed).
Using the graphical web version of HAYSTAC, you can perform the same search limiting of results.

Useful Search Tip: to get a list of feature films on video, use the search string "feature film" under the Word Search from the Main Menu, then limit using L, W, E, F (see above).

Note: Faculty requests for media purchases are handled by the Subject Area Librarian for a given department. If you have a research or other subject-related question, we encourage faculty to consult with their subject area liaison, regardless of format. For example, if you have a reference question relating to the Music Collection, you should contact Judy Clarence, the Library's Music Department Liaison.
