The library pays for our foreign language videos, and they are kept 
at the library.  Faculty may check them out for a day, a week, or a 
semester and leave them either in the language department or here 
at the LRC for viewing--or the students can just go to the library 
and watch them there.  The language department has a few videos 
of its own that were purchased with its own budget, and those are 
primarily used within the class itself.

------------------
The Language Learning Resource Center here at URI has recently shifted to
the Instructional Technology and Media Services (ITMS) Department.  When we
were part of the Language Department, we shared resources such as videos
and software.  Now ITMS buys our software and other supplies, but there is
a question about who is to buy the videos to be used in the lab by students
(and checked out by instructors).

Because these materials are used for instruction in the classroom and then
put on reserve in the lab, it makes sense that the department pays for
them.  However, since ITMS funds our other needs, why not videos as well?

What do other universities/colleges do in this circumstance?
