Reservations and Loan Periods

All Media Center materials are available to FAU faculty, staff, TA's and GA's for use in courses and other FAU programs. Materials are also available for individual in-library viewings and most titles may be checked out by anyone with a valid Owl Card or library card.

Faculty and staff may place reservations by calling the center at 561-297-3704, by using our Reservation Request Form, through campus mail, by email at lymedia@fau.edu.or in person at the Media Center (LY 122).   Please request materials at least 24 hours in advance for the Boca Raton campus.  Requests from other campuses should be made 72 hours in advance to ensure delivery via the shuttle.

You can request multimedia materials from the Jupiter campus library by submitting a request to the Interlibrary Loan Department. You will receive an e-mail when the items are available for you to check out from the Circulation Desk on the first floor of the Wimberly library.
