Media Collection: Booking Trent Media

Booking applies only to physical items, such as DVDs. Online items don't need to be booked.

The booking process ensures that an item will be available for a class viewing. Trent University students, faculty, and staff holding a valid TrentU card may book media titles in advance. Book it as early as possible, up to a year ahead of time.

Booking is not required for media; if the item is available, you may sign it out.  See the borrowing regulations.
