Media Production Services & Support

Neilson Library and Alumnae Gymnasium both provide unique technology, software, equipment and spaces for media production. Support for these tools comes in two tiers: Drop-in help with our student Digital Media Mentors, or scheduling a consultation with our expert Educational Media Producers.

For more information on where to find streaming videos and other digital media online, visit our media research guide.

Digital Media Mentors are students who have experience with a variety of digital media tools and are available to assist with topics such as project planning, software support, hardware assistance and studio use. 

Digital Media Mentors are available for drop-in help in Alumnae Gym 209, located in the Knowledge Lab.

Digital Media Course Projects

Educational Media Producers collaborate with Faculty in the development, implementation and support of curricular digital media projects. These projects are developed to meet faculty members’ specific learning goals and enable students to experience and develop critical digital competencies. Projects can range in scope from simple low stakes presentation exercises, to long-term, content-rich, public-facing products with professional results. Media producers collaborate with faculty to determine appropriate hardware and software, develop achievable project timelines, and deliver robust project-focused technology workshops while also providing support to students throughout the project process.

To request a consultation about a digital media course project, submit a Digital Support Request.
