Class Presentation Information

• The Visual Resources Collection (VRC) of the School of Architecture, Planning, and Preservation is a resource for teaching and research.

• Borrowing privileges are extended to School Faculty and to students who are giving presentations in School classes.

• Preparations for presentations should be made approximately two weeks in advance when possible.

• Faculty and students may use digitized collection slides in classes for lectures and       presentations, and some images may already exist in a digital format. To have slides scanned for class, please select the slides and give them to a curator at least two weeks in advance of the lecture.

• All slides must be left on reserve in the Slide Room until the hour of presentation.  There are no overnight loans of slides or trays.

• Any special permissions must be discussed with a curator (student assistants are not authorized to grant special permissions).

VRC Procedures For All Patrons

Please identify yourself and your topic to VRC Staff. An orientation is required before first use of the collection. We can help with slide selection and with audiovisual needs for class presentation.

If, after searching the collection, you find that you need additional images for your presentation, you may have digital files made from books and/or periodicals. These images become part of the collection, available for your classroom use, at no charge. Please plan ahead. Two full weeks are needed to process image orders.
