Use of the Language Labs
The Language Labs (SS 4) offer a variety of services to
students, faculty, staff, spouses, alumni and International House
residents. It not only provides audio/visual equipment to patrons
but also supports linguistic research by maintaining a recording
studio, editing equipment and various workstations. The Labs aim
to facilitate language learning on a campus-wide level by keeping its
services both accessible and up-to-date.
1. Sign in/out
The SS4 site requires patrons to sign in and out each time they use the
facilities. This involves filling
out a request slip and presenting a U. of C. ID to be scanned and a
second form of ID to be held as collateral. The second form of
ID may include a current driver's license, international student ID,
passport, shuttle-bus pass or library card. We are not permitted to
accept money-bearing forms of ID such as a Chicago Card, bank card or
credit card. Upon exiting the lab the patron must again present his/her
U. of C. ID along with any materials borrowed. The patron's U. of C. ID
and collateral ID will then be returned with the request slip. Patrons
should
write down the current time and place the slip in the box at the
service window.
2. Media Use
Only audio and videotapes lent out or sold at either LLA site may be
used
on the Labs' equipment. There are strict restrictions on taking
media borrowed from the Labs out of the premises; consult a staff
member before taking out any item.
3. Audiocassette Copy Order
Where copyright regulations permit, patrons may order personal
copies of audiocassette materials at the SS4 site.
- Only cassettes purchased at the Labs may be used for
personal copies. The price is $1.50 per cassette, payable at the time
of order placement. The only exception
involves requests for copies of Social Science lectures. These require
90-minute cassettes, which the Labs do not sell. Patrons must supply
their own stock, which must be of good quality and in the "normal bias"
standard.
- Orders are usually completed in 24 hours. There
is no service charge for copying up to two cassettes per order. Larger
orders may take longer to fulfill and will incur a surcharge
of 50¢ per side.
- Patrons may recycle recorded cassettes when ordering
further
copies, provided that the cassettes meet quality standards. Some
course material may require that tapes be recycled; consult staff for
details.
- Because of the limited storage space, we will recycle
any cassette not picked up within 30 days.
