Film Viewing

Access Services can set up film viewing and provide technical assistance for 16mm film. We have a 16mm projector and screen. We coordinate the film setup and room-booking at an available room in the UGL at the user request (time subject to room availability). We will be on site during the first 10 minutes of the viewing to ensure no technical problems, and will return after the viewing to break down the setup. WSULS does not support 35mm film.

The film collection was reviewed in December 2006, and 90% of catalog records suppressed from public display. Additionally, many films located in the WSULS collections are not cataloged.

For Master’s and EdD students who no longer have library access due to a period of non-enrollment, but who are working on their Master’s Project/Thesis or Dissertation Proposal.

1. To Check Out Library Materials (Books, etc.)

To be able to check out library materials, they must bring in the following form completed by their advisor or designee, and the student will need to bring the completed form to the Purdy Library Circulation desk. NOTE: These privileges are only good for one semester. Students will still need to use their WSU OneCard after they have submitted the form to check out books. If the student does not have a WSU OneCard, the student will need to talk to the Circulation Supervisor, who will issue a Guest Library Card to the student.

2. Access to Library Databases

After 4 semesters of student activity, students lose access to their Wayne State email, which is what is used for the authentication on campus in the public computers. 

For Access to Library Databases and Computers ON CAMPUS
The Student's Advisor need to send an e-mail to C&IT helpdesk@wayne.edu with the student's name and AccessID, and the date they are graduating or no longer need access,  and ask for an email exception because the student is working on their Master's Project or Dissertation (or anything that is under their care). This is also called a "wispa" exemption by C&IT. (For specific questions related to email exceptions, contact Kat at 313-577-2038)

For Access to Library Databases OFF CAMPUS
The Student or their Advisor or Designee must complete and submit the following online form http://library.wayne.edu/forms/remote_access.php. HOWEVER, it is important to note that access to the databases will only be from OFF CAMPUS.
