Event Recording

Multimedia's event recording service exists to make your department's event available to a larger college audience. The recordings can be in audio-only or audio and video. This service is particularly well-suited to presentations by visiting lecturers or one-time events that are of interest to a wider college audience. Due to staffing and resource issues we cannot honor every event-recording request but we will make every effort to accomodate your needs.

We ask that you consider the following factors before requesting a recording:

• Outside of my immediate audience, how many people will want to view my event?
• What kind of shelf life will this event have? (How long will it be useful?)
• Try to avoid topics that are a hot issue today but will likely be forgotten next month.
• If the speaker plans to use PowerPoint or other media, can you get a copy of the support media to be edited directly into the program?
• How will the tape(s) be distributed?
  • As an instructor you keep a copy of the tape to show each new class for the next several quarters... or
  • You might put a few copies of the tape in the library reserve section for student/staff checkout for the next year or so... or
  • To make the tape(s) available to everyone, you could request that it be placed on the streaming web server, making it available to anyone for a year.
• Finally, remember to get the speaker's permission to be videotaped and distributed before the Multimedia crew arrives to setup. We have blank release forms we can email to you. To get an event recording form click here.
