Kelvin Smith Library
Any equipment kit that is overdue will accrue a $5 fine per day, and overdue fines will max out at $30.
If kits are overdue for longer than 6 days, the borrowing patron's library account will be billed for the cost of the loaned kit. Returning the complete and undamaged kit to the Service Center will remove the billed charge. All that would remain are the overdue fines.
Located in the Tech Table, the Microphone Kit can be checked out at the Service Center.
The Microphone Kit attaches directly to the user's computer to capture high quality audio. This microphone does not have the capability of traveling. A headset can be inserted into the device and its output can be adjusted on the front of the microphone.
Alternatives: The Audio Recorder also is capable of recording on the move or attached to a computer, and comes with 4 audio settings. Likewise, the Audio Recorder with Video offers those some options in addition to the video camera function found on the front of the equipment.
