Equipment+Maintenance

Library Equipment:

 * Overhead projectors
 * TVs
 * DVDs and VCRs
 * Digital cameras
 * Camcorders, digital and tape
 * Library computers, circulation and lookup stations, Macs, PCs, laptops, and their accessories (external drives etc.)
 * Printers
 * Laminators
 * Copiers
 * Video projectors?

For most of the library equipment, maintenance is an end-of-the-year task. Overhead projectors and TVs and VCR/DVDs are cleaned when the teachers return them to the library for the summer. The rest of the items don't really require periodic maintenance except maybe the copiers?
 * Maintenance Schedules:**

Items available for check-out of the library are overhead projectors, TVs with VCR/DVD, digital cameras and camcorders, laptops and the video projector. The item is logged on the check-out sheet, the teacher's name is noted, and signed out by the media clerk or teacher librarian. For cameras and camcorders, we also require that the teacher sign a responsibility form which shows the replacement cost of the item in case it is lost or damaged.
 * Practices:**

Inventories are kept on all the equipment in Excel. The name of the item should be listed, along with the district ID#, serial #, make and model, and the location of the item (ie: which teacher has which overhead). As items are switched and moved around during the year, be sure to update this inventory. At the end of the year, all the inventories should be checked as items are returned to the library for the summer and put in storage.
 * Equipment Inventories:**

The district maintains a list of recommended vendors for audio/visual materials. Check this list before purchasing equipment as many of the vendors offer a discount to the district. Most items will be purchased with a purchase order with the approval of your teacher librarian and your principal.
