Available Portable A/V Equipment for Checkout

Updated on

Introduction

Digital Learning Technologies offers several services related to the availability and use of portable audio-visual technologies and equipment. Portable A/V Equipment is available for classrooms and events. You may reserve & check out portable A/V equipment. DLT offers a delivery service or we can hold equipment for will-call pick-up at our DLT Service Desk in the Marriott Library Faculty Center, Suite 1705.

Because Digital Learning Technologies is a campus service department, we are restricted to conducting business and services only related to University of Utah teaching, learning, and research.  That said, many of our services are completely subsidized for use in academic courses, while other non-course-related activities may have charges associated with them.

A technician can also be scheduled at your request to remain on-site during the entire duration of your class or event. Requires a one-week notice.
