Dial Access
Dial Access is our remote playback system. Video programs which are assigned to a large number of individuals can be placed on this electronic distribution system and transmitted simultaneously to carrels in Nonprint Media Services for viewing at scheduled intervals, Monday through Sunday. Here is the current week's Dial Access Schedule.
Here is a tentative listing for the following week's Dial Access schedule.
Dial Access programs MUST be viewed in Nonprint Media Services. The service is available all hours that we are open during semesters.
