Classroom Services is the front line service agency for technical support in the classroom, lecture halls, and special events. We provide a wide variety of audio/visual, video, and multimedia services to UCSB. Our mission is to provide "no miss" service: to be on time, reliable, courteous, and technically competent.

The first priority for the assignment of Instructional Resources equipment, facilities, and services is to support instruction on the UCSB campus. As funding permits, Classroom Services will provide service at no charge to campus academic departments during the regular academic year in order to support any courses which take place at the time and location listed in the current Schedule of Classes. Instructional Resources also provides a broad range of audio/visual, video, and multimedia services on a cost recovery basis for special events and conferences. [RATES]

DVD/VCR Wallboxes have been installed in many classrooms. The Wallbox provides (1) a combo DVD/VHS player, (2) an intercom to Media Equipment, and (3) all local control: to turn monitors and/or data/video projector on and off, to adjust volume, and to switch between sources. View a sample Wallbox.

Twenty four classrooms have computer lecterns with installed computers with DVD-ROM drives, easy-to-access USB ports, sound system support, and network connectivity. An additional thirty five classrooms have pre-wired laptop lecterns or wall box units that access the installed data projector, network and sound system.
