Media Collections

Showing films to campus groups outside the classroom requires Public Performance Rights (PPR). The great majority of media in the library does not have PPR, and screening it for a public audience is unauthorized. If you are curious if the library has rights to a film you wish to screen, look it up using the Library Search and click on its record. If it has rights attached to it, the record will have a note entitled "Public Performance Rights." Most films that have PPR can only be screened on campus to Mason students and employees.
