SCIENTIA LECTURE VIDEOS

Videocassettes of the Scientia lectures are typically sent to cataloging at or near the end of the semester, although they may arrive at any time.  Joan Reid – x5630 -- has been our contact for these tapes and for queries about them.

The tapes are classed together in a history of science number and subarranged by the academic year, as each academic year a different question is explored.  The lectures arrive identified by speaker, title, and date.  The Scientia website displays a schedule useful for assigning numbers to the videos.  We need to be alert to the schedule:  sometimes one of the lecture tapes is not delivered with the others.   Joan Reid will locate the missing video.
