The Media Center is part of the Paul and Rosemary Trible Library. We are located on the second floor, adjacent to the Rosemary Trible Reading Room on the East side of the library (facing Warwick Blvd.). We offer dedicated spaces with the latest computers for editing video, audio and images. Our student-staffed service desk offers training and is where you can inquire about equipment and check out exactly what you need. Adjacent to the Media Center, is our collection space that houses our extensive DVD and Blu-ray collections. We also house a CD collection inside the Media Center. Our equipment and services support the CNU curriculum as well as providing technical experience that can be included on any resume! Our goal is to foster creativity in and out of the classroom while exposing students to exceptional technology. Please come visit us!
All CNU faculty, staff and students can check out equipment. In order to check out most equipment, you will want to read over our official Equipment Loan Policy. This is to make sure you understand the responsibility of checking out equipment owned by CNU. You will need your CNU ID to check out equipment from the Media Center.
Faculty / Staff must have their CNU ID registered with the library system at the Circulation Desk. Students are registered upon enrollment with the university.
All equipment must be renewed in person; no online renewals. Equipment may be renewed only one time. However, if you have asked for an extended due date at the time of the initial check-out, no renewals are allowed for the loan.
You may also choose to reserve equipment for a time in the future. Reservations much be put in 48 hours or more before items are needed. The patron checking out reserved equipment must be the same individual who placed a reservation.
If you do not see the equipment you wish to reserve listed, click on "Other Items Not Listed" on page 2, and specify what equipment within the comments about your reservation.
(Only faculty may reserve the Media Viewing Classroom

The tabs in the upper left of this page contain most of our circulating equipment found in the Trible Library Media Center. If you are a professor and would like to use equipment for a class project, please email mediacenter@cnu.edu so that we can best serve your needs.
Please note that nearly all equipment we circulate has a digital copy of the user's manual on the following pages. Please ask at the service desk if you are interested in a hands-on demonstration or more in depth training with any of our equipment. Demonstrated proficiency is expected and required for many of the items we carry.
