ASC: Media Library Ordering Information


			Home / CTS / Media Library / Ordering Information (University of Missouri Extension Centers) Programs in the media collection are available on a rental basis to any responsible school, individual, or organization throughout the contiguous 48 United States unless specific use restrictions have been placed on the program by the copyright holder. The Office of the Director of Cooperative Extension has agreed to pay rental charges associated with all programs used by Extension Center staff in outreach activities. Telephone Orders: Telephone orders are accepted but try to limit them to five programs. Please have all information before you when you call. The scheduling office is open from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Central Time (7:30 a.m to 4:00 p.m. during the summer). The telephone number is (573) 882-3601. Mail Orders to: Media Rental Library University of Missouri 505 East Stewart Road Columbia, MO 65211-2040 Extension Center Address & Program: When ordering, please include the following information for inclusion in summary information available for the Director of Cooperative Extension's fiscal office: Extension Center name, address, and telephone number. Name and title of the Extension staff member who will be using the item(s). A brief description of the Extension program in which the item(s) will be used. Confirmations will be sent to the individual who will be using the item(s) at the Extension Center's address. Program Title, Format, and Number: Indicate the exact program title and, if the program is available in more than one format (VHS, DVD, 16mm film, etc.), indicate the desired format. If you learned about the program from our web site, include the program number listed in parentheses after the title (if a program contains more than one reel or parts with separate program numbers, list all reels or parts as separate entries if all are desired). Use Date(s): Specify use date(s) and alternate date(s) if possible. When ordering for as soon as possible, indicate the last acceptable use date. If an item is desired for more than one day of use, include both the beginning and ending use dates desired. Try to limit use to no more than one week. Order Numbers: The library assigns order numbers for each item scheduled. These numbers appear on all confirmations, packing slips and charge statements. Please include the order number in all communications. Overdue Charges: All programs must be returned at the end of the scheduled use period. If the return postmark indicates that the program was returned on the working day immediately following the last use date, no overdue charges will be assessed. Invoices for any overdue charges will be sent to the Extension Center for payment. Overdue fees are $3.00 per item, per day, or the extended rental rate, whichever is greater. Refer to the packing list included with each shipment for the last scheduled use date on specific shipments. When an order is placed, the Extension Center agrees to also accept charges for telephone calls if items are not returned on schedule. Damaged or Lost Programs: Programs are inspected after each use and Extension Centers will be held responsible for damage beyond normal wear and tear, as well as for any loss of programs while in their possession or during transit back to the University of Missouri. Invoices/Payment: Statements are sent to the Director of Cooperative Extension's fiscal office on a monthly basis for all items returned during the month. Monthly invoices are sent to Extension Centers at the beginning of each month for any overdue or replacement charges. Payment should be made within 30 days of receipt of the invoice and should be sent to: AR Columbia Campus P.O. Box 807012 Kansas City, MO 64180-7012 Return the top portion of the invoice with all payments and indicate the invoice number on your check. If you have any questions concerning an invoice, please contact us within 30 days of the invoice date. Cancelling Scheduled Items: Cancellations requests should be made at least 15 days prior to the beginning use date. No rental charges will be cancelled if the item has already been packaged for shipment or pick up before the library scheduling office receives a request for cancellation. Extending Use Periods: Should you desire to use a program for a period which is longer than originally scheduled, contact the library scheduling office immediately. The use dates will be extended if there are no other immediate bookings, and the rental charges will be adjusted accordingly. Requests for extension must be received on or before the last scheduled use date indicated on the packing list and the Status Report. Shipments: Although we allow sufficient transit time for all shipments, unforeseen delays in shipping occasionally occur. If you do not receive an item by the confirmed use date, notify the library immediately so other arrangements can be made or to insure cancellation of use charges. Returning Materials: Programs must be returned prepaid on the working day immediately following the last scheduled use date. Overdue charges will be assessed on programs which are not returned promptly. Use Restrictions: Federal law provides severe civil and criminal penalties for unauthorized reproduction, distribution or exhibition of copyrighted programs. All programs are protected under Title 17, U.S. copyright code and are subject to the following restrictions: Programs may not be copied, duplicated, transcribed, cut or altered without specific written permission from the copyright holder. Programs may not broadcast, telecast, cablecast, or transmitted by any electronic or digital means, nor may they be stored in a retrieval system or used in a network. Programs may not be loaned to other groups, organizations or individuals. Programs may not be used as part of any profit-making or fund-raising program, nor may admission charges (direct or indirect) be collected.
