The Office of Information Technology and the Library provide Digital Camera/Video Equipment for loan from the Student Technology Resource Room (STRR), located in the Multimedia Resources Department of the Library. This equipment is for use by Montclair State University students for class camera/video projects.

Because the number of cameras is limited, faculty members are encouraged to meet with either Luis Rodriguez (x7805) or Patty Kahn (x6930) to discuss the project beforehand.
