Video Taping:
All lectures are videotaped and catalogued in the Bailey-Howe Media Library assuming the speaker consents. Two copies are made: one for the media library and one for the host department.
Request for Permission to Post Audio/Video Recordings on the Web:
The University through the Office of University Communications is launching a new initiative posting audio and video recordings of guest lectures and speakers, special events, and other high profile events that might be of interest to broader audiences on the UVM website. The recording(s) would be posted for educational use, and would be accessible by all. The lecture, or clips from the lecture, may appear on the University of Vermont website, or in Web locations maintained by UVM staff. In order to post the recordings, the University needs to secure permission of the speaker. Please send two signed copies to the speaker in advance of their arrival and request that they sign and maintain one copy for their records and return one copy to Gary Derr (address provided) or bring to Faculty Sponsor during the visit.

Sign Language Interpreter:
Arrangements can be made for a sign language interpreter. Please contact Renee Bourassa, Conference Coordinator to arrange for the interpreter. It is helpful for her if she knows if you anticipate any hearing impaired attendees and who they are. There is no cost associated with these arrangements.
