Located on the ground floor of the Holland/New Library (on the south end next to the grand piano), Media Materials & Reserves (MM&R) houses over 30,000 items in a variety of media formats. Our on-site viewing and listening facility features individual carrels, two 4-person Listening/Viewing Labs, and two 25-person Theaters.

In our multimedia area, we provide 2 IBM-platform computers for multimedia use and production, scanning, photo-imaging, and text recognition. For the University community, our self-service multimedia computers are free of charge. Color printing is available on-site for a nominal sum.

We have recently added an IBM-platform computer for government document CD-ROMs and Geographic Information Systems (GIS). (See http://www.wsulibs.wsu.edu/govdoc/gis.htm for more information).

We provide media for classroom instruction, for local borrowers, for use via Academic Media Services, to our branch campuses, and to borrowers through our rental program throughout the Northwest and the United States.

Our collections have been added to the Libraries' catalog, Griffin. From this web site, our holdings may be searched as a special "scoped" location, containing ONLY MM&R holdings.

For further details about our operation, please feel free to peruse the categories below as well the rest of this web site. Again, welcome to MM&R!
