Faculty and staff may request DVDs to be used in their classrooms or they may put these materials on reserve in the library for use by their students. DVD holdings can be searched by using the online catalog. Search the DSC library's online catalog to find library holdings. The catalog also indexes other media such as streaming video and audio materials. To reserve materials call 386.506.3055 for assistance. (For Deland Campus Library call 386.785.2017)
Faculty can place materials on reserve at the Daytona and DeLand Campus Libraries by reviewing the Reserves page and completing the online form.

The library relies heavily upon the subject expertise of our faculty to keep our collections as up to date and relevant to your students as possible. We welcome any recommendations for materials to add to our collections, both book and media. It is also just as important to remove old and outdated materials from our collection and we highly encourage faculty to "weed" those areas of the collection pertinent to their disciplines. You can e-mail recommendations to Christina.Hastie@daytonastate.edu. or call 386.506.3593 to find out more about how you can keep our resources working for you.
The Daytona State Library Services Department believes very highly in continuous quality improvement and welcomes any suggestions, recommendations, or concerns that will help us improve our services and resources.
