Library Media Services (UMN):
Library Media Services at the University of Minnesota offers up very robust support for both students and instructors looking to produce or assign digital stories for their classes. You can check out recording equipment or use one of their media workstations for editing; or you can request a visit from Library Media Services staff to help you design an assignment for your class or help your students in planning their workflow.
To learn more about what they have to offer, visit their website at lib.umn.edu/media or stop in at the SMART Commons located at various libraries across campus.
