Reserve equipment that fits your needs
The equipment for loan service is used by hundreds of students, faculty and staff each year. We offer a comprehensive collection of video and audio equipment for a variety of media production needs. All items are loaned from room CL240 in the Parnassus Library.
High-tech workstations for your multimedia project
Reserve an individual workstation or collaborate with a group in our eLearning Studio and get access to a variety of multimedia applications and hardware devices including video and audio editing applications, scanners, and more. Workstations can be reserved by UCSF students, faculty, and staff and are located on the 2nd floor of the Parnassus Library in room CL240.
We are available to answer basic questions about the multimedia workstations, but contact us in advance if you need more guidance to get started.
