Student Digital Media Assignment Support
Designing a quality student produced media assignment that optimizes learning and insuring students receive the support required throughout their project is not an easy task. Contact your Media Outreach & Learning Spaces Librarian, Scott Spicer, to learn how we can assist you in meeting these challenges.
For more information on Media Literacy you can read our webpage and meet with us to discuss the support we can provide.
Library Media Services has worked with dozens of instructors to integrate student media projects into their curriculum. These case studies illustrate student work, the benefits of these assignments, and support offered.
The Libraries provide access to a range of non-print media content in digital and physical formats. Notable examples include roughly 15,000 video titles at the Walter SMART Learning Commons, access to numerous media databases, and The Hugo Salazar South American Theater Collection. Learn more on our collections page.
Libraries Media Services also provides specialized media expertise to assist instructors/researchers with the use and access to media resources in teaching, research and scholarship contexts.

Suggest a Video for Purchase
- As an instructional based collection all of our media is purchased with the primary intent of being used in the classroom. If you are teaching a class and would like the libraries to consider purchasing an item please contact your subject liaison librarian. This individual can help you with other library needs as well.
We have an entire page dedicated to student patrons. There you can see what kind of support we can offer your students. You may find there is something for you too, such as our support pages for software.
