Services

The Digital Media Center provides assistance to faculty, staff, and students in the development of multimedia resources. We assist with the development of video, power point, audio, and other multimedia projects. We can also assist with scanning slides and converting them to digital format, as well as in the creation of web pages. We are staffed by professional and student employees.

The Center has three fully-equipped editing stations. Members of the UMW community may reserve these workstations, and use them to develop projects for use in classes or other UMW sponsored activities. See the Multimedia Workstations link on the right to reserve one of these machines for your use.

Note: Multimedia support for campus events is handled by the Office of Events; please contact them at 540-654-1235.

Electronic Reproductions and Copying

The Digital Media Center adheres to the fair use doctrine and all applicable copyright laws. These laws apply to off-air TV broadcast videotaping, producing 35MM slides, audio taping, and any other electronic replication of any type of media. The Digital Media Center staff WILL NOT violate these laws. Whenever possible, we will honor your request or recommend that you obtain appropriate copyright permission.

Repairs

The Help Desk staff will arrange for repairs on all multimedia equipment. Departments will be billed for repairs. Call the Help Desk at ext. 2255 if your equipment needs attention.

Equipment Theft and Damages

Significant costs are incurred by the University throughout the year as a result of negligence. Theft of unattended or unsecured equipment and damage caused by leaving equipment turned on for several days contribute to these extra charges. Personnel using the equipment must be accountable for its proper use and safekeeping. We will be happy to provide training and guidance in these areas.
