The Anne Arundel County School System maintains a large collection of videos for use by teachers and support staff in the classroom as materials of instruction. The video library collection, on VHS and videodisk, is administered under the direction of the Library Media Specialist in charge of the Professional Library.
Videos and videodisks are circulated to both public and private schools in Anne Arundel County and number close to 5,000 individual titles. Duplicate titles of the most frequently requested videos have been placed in the video library to reduce the possibility of request refusal due to prior bookings.
Videos are placed in the Video Library based upon the recommendation of curriculum committees working through the Review and Evaluation Center located in the Library Media Offices, 1657 Crofton Centre, Crofton, MD.
The catalog of materials available in theVideo Library is available online here. Select the Video Library link to search the collection.
The Library Media Specialist is the point of contact in each school for help with video booking and pick-up/delivery schedules.
Video Dubbing Services
Dubbing services can be requested by calling the Video Library at (410) 721-8465. Copies may be transferred from VHS to VHS only. Videos may also be shifted from the overseas formats of PAL and SECAM. Dubbing takes place in real-time and is on a first-come, first-served basis, so please take this into consideration when making plans for use of the dubbed material. Multiple copies can be made at the same time.
Copyright law is strictly adhered to and no copies will be made of commercial materials without written clearance from the producer. Schools need to provide their own videotapes.
The Library Media Specialist is also the point of contact in each school for this service.
Audio Visual (AV) Warehouse
The AV Warehouse located at the Crofton Centre facility delivers to schools much needed supplies using the "Audio Visual Lamp and Supply Order Form." Because of volume, the AV Warehouse can supply schools with bid prices on many of the items used daily. Projector lamps are the only items supplied. A list of the items offered will be available online. Call 410-721-8465 for more information.
See the school Library Media Specialist for help in ordering from the AV Warehouse.
