Mid-America Regional Interpreter Education Center Lending Library

Mid-America Regional Interpreter Education Center Lending Library offered through UNC-DO IT Center
Submitted by LaNae Phillips and Angela Craig

UNC-DO IT Center has established online Lending Library for working or aspiring interpreters who are either currently enrolled in UALR - IEP or UNC-DO IT Center courses and/or live in the Mid-America Region (Arkansas, Colorado, Louisiana, Montana, New Mexico, North Dakota, Oklahoma, South Dakota, Texas, Utah and Wyoming) who wish to improve their interpreting skills.

Videotapes, books, CDs, and DVDs can be borrowed to enhance interpreting/sign language skills and/or continue professional development in K-12, post-secondary and community settings. To view the available materials, go to the DO IT Center web site at www.unco.edu/doit. Click on Mid-America Regional Interpreter Education Center. On that page you will find the link to the Lending Library. There you will find more information and the guidelines for borrowing materials. All materials have been placed in a searchable database called, Library.com. The Link is on the Lending Library page. Once you are in Library.com you will be able to search from over 450 videos, CDs, DVDs, and various books and publications.

There is a check out limit of four (4) items per person per month. For any materials not returned, the standard loan rules impose a minimum $25.00 charge. After the replacement value of the item is ascertained, the full purchase price for a replacement item (equal in value) will be charge. If the lost one is no longer available, the DO IT Center will specify an alternate item, on the same topic, as a replacement.
