Video Services

The Video Services facility is open to all faculty, students, and staff members.  Its main purpose is to assist the Princeton University community to incorporate video technology in their teaching, assignments and research and to provide the resources necessary to support the use of video technology in the classroom.  Video Services manages the majority of the University's video collection and video reserves. The videos put on reserve by faculty for their classes are stored here during the semester.
