IAITMH Media Library Policies 2007

Recently the IAITMH has obtained a collection of video/audio tapes that are available to practitioners working with infants and young children. These tapes may be rented for a nominal fee and are available to members throughout Indiana. A list of videos can be viewed on the IAITMH website: www.iaitmh.org.

The IAITMH Media Committee has developed some procedures to make it easy for you to access our collection of tapes and DVD’s. Our goal is to increase their usage. We also would eventually like to expand the collection to meet your many diverse needs.

The IAITMH Media Library is housed at the Riley Child Development Center Indianapolis, Indiana where staff are available to process requests and oversee the needs of the library. If you have questions regarding the library, please telephone 317-274-8167, email vnfoster@iupui.edu or fax 317-274-9760. Materials will be mailed out only once a week, on Monday. You will need to plan accordingly!!

Materials may be checked out for THREE weeks. Please contact Van Nessa as soon as you know which materials you would like to rent so that they can be held in reserve. An R.S.V.P. is preferred at least one month in advance.

To request materials, fill out the attached request form, noting materials desired, their code numbers, your shipping address, and a check to cover shipping/handling costs. IAITMH accepts company checks, personal checks, or money orders – all must be made payable from a U.S. bank. Mail the order form and check, made payable to Indiana University. If you are requesting materials via fax, please be sure to include your billing name, address, and a copy of the completed purchase order with number. The materials will be shipped to you via U. S. mail. The mailer will include the materials along with a POSTAGE PAID return envelope. All you have to do is put the materials in the return envelope on or before the due date and return to the Post Office (inside the U.S.) where a clerk will validate insurance for return. Please note that shipping charges also INCLUDE insurance in case the tapes are lost in the mail.

In order to insure timely return of rentals, we have instituted late charges. A fee of $10.00 will be assessed for every week the materials are late. The materials must be POSTMARKED three weeks from the day shipped.

We ENCOURAGE you to use this wonderful resource!! Some suggested uses are:

Staff development

Training and consultation

Skill Building for professionals new to the 0-3 field

Brown bag luncheons

Personal growth and development

PLEASE let us know how the IAITMH Media Committee is doing and what changes you would like to see happen to make it even better! The IAITMH Media Library exists to serve you as you serve infants, young children, and families in a variety of settings or indirectly through training and supervision.
