Faculty

Currently full and part-time, permanent and temporary Kutztown University Faculty may borrow materials and equipment from the Audiovisual Center. A current KU ID is needed to check-out materials and equipment from the AV Center. All non-print materials circulate to current Kutztown University faculty for a period of six months and may be renewed. With respect to technology, Kutztown University has a decentralized configuration whereby each classroom building has a supply of equipment. The Rohrbach Library Audiovisual Center provides for auxiliary classroom need and circulates equipment for one week to faculty. Faculty may also renew AV equipment for one additional week.

Emeriti Kutztown University faculty may borrow AVC materials for a period of one-week with one renewal.

Staff

Non-print materials circulate to staff for a period of one week and may be renewed for one week if no holds have been placed. Staff may borrow AV equipment for a period of one week.

Students

Non-print materials circulate to matriculating Kutztown University Students for a period of one week and may be renewed for one week if no holds have been placed. Students may borrow AV equipment overnight with no renewals.

Courtesy Borrowers

Only K-12, public school teachers within our service area may borrow non-print materials from the AV Center for a period of one week. AV equipment does not circulate to any courtesy borrower. Our service area includes Berks and Lehigh counties. Other courtesy borrowers may preview materials from the AV collection in one of our preview rooms.
