Media Resource Center

The George K. Makechnie Media Resource Center (formerly known as the Instructional Resource Center) provides a broad range of media services for students, faculty and staff for computing, media and library needs.

Computers

PCs with CD and DVD writers are available in the MRC for student, faculty, and staff use. In addition to word processing, graphics, spreadsheet, database management, and other popular kinds of software installed on these computers, faculty may request to have specialized curriculum software installed. The computers are also linked for Internet access.

Media Services

The MRC provides equipment and technical support to students, faculty and staff.

Library/Reserve Desk Services

The MRC keeps a small library of reserve materials for BU Sargent College classes so students can conveniently access these materials.

Students can check out these materials for two hours at a time by presenting their BU ID card. A photocopier is available in the MRC for student use (This photocopier accepts coins, dollar bills and Convenience Points). For more information about how to add Convenience Points to your BU ID (Terrier) card, please see the Convenience Points Plan Information Screen.

Professors who wish to place items on reserve should download this form and bring it in along with their reserve items. In-depth instructions on how to place items on reserve in the MRC can be found here.

Faculty and Staff Support

We offer technical support to faculty and staff in a variety of different areas. Student computer support can be found at the PCSC.
