Q. Where can I use a wireless lapel microphone?

A. You can request a wireless lapel microphone to use in the Chapel and the Winn Center. Nelson 118 and 119, Fellowship Hall, and Hundley Hall have multimedia lecterns with lapel microphones in the cabinets. These are to be operated by whoever is using the lectern, and that person must have had multimedia lectern training, which the Library offers regularly.

Q. Do I need to request a TV/VCR in the rooms with multimedia setups (Nelson 10, 118, 119, Board Room; Gardencourt 205, 206, 209, 213, and Hundley Hall)?

A. No. All of the smaller classrooms (second floor of GC, Nelson 10, and the Board Room) have monitors and DVD/VCRs on carts which stay permanently in the rooms, and they can be used to show PowerPoint presentations, Websites, videotapes, and DVDs. There are instructions for use of the equipment hanging from the carts. Gardencourt 206 and Nelson 10 also have screens and digital projectors.

The larger rooms (Nelson 118 and 119, Fellowship Hall, and Hundley Hall) have electronic screens and digital projectors, and there is a DVD/VCR in the multimedia lectern cabinet in each room.

Q. How do I request equipment for showing a PowerPoint presentation or a website?

A. The four largest classrooms, Nelson 118 and 119, Fellowship Hall, and Hundley Hall, all have multimedia lecterns that allow for connection to a digital projector and our network. When you reserve the room, the equipment comes with it, and you don’t need to request it on the reservation form. The smaller rooms, Gardencourt 205, 206, 209, 213, Nelson 10, and the Board Room all have permanent multimedia setups that include a monitor with a DVD/VCR and a network connection. These setups are on carts so they can be moved carefully within the room, but are not to be moved outside the room. Gardencourt 206 and Nelson 10 also have screens and digital projectors.

Q. Can I get a tape player or a CD player in buildings other than the Winn Center and the Chapel?

A. The multimedia lecterns in Nelson 118 and 119, Fellowship Hall, and Hundley Hall have a tape deck and a CD player. These are to be operated by whoever is using the lectern, and that person must have had multimedia lectern training, which the Library offers regularly.

Q. How do I request audiotaping or videotaping?

A. The same way you request a room or other AV equipment: fill out the online Reservation of Facilities and submit at least five working days before your event. It is also a good idea to call the Audiovisual line, ext 290, or e-mail the Multimedia Assistant at nhollabaugh@lpts.ed, since the sooner the Multimedia Assistant knows of your request, the more likely it is that you will receive the services you want. Taping is offered for major Seminary-sponsored events, however any department that expects to sell copies of tapes of its event needs to make its own arrangements for professional taping.

Q. Who moves the AV equipment I requested to the room?

A. Multimedia Assistant, Norm Hollabaugh (nhollabaugh@lpts.edu), ext 290.

Q. Who should I call if I have requested taping by Seminary staff and nobody has set up for taping?

A. Call Norm Hollabaugh at ext 290.
