Mission Statement

Media Services, as part of the Library Media Center, provides leadership to Glendale Community College on all issues related to video collections, instructional programs, and related programs. Media Services supports video advocacy within American Library Association Guidelines, within the profession, and within our library. We understand 'video' to include all formats, analog and digital; multimedia that includes video content; and the network delivery of digital and digitized video. Media Services will work with other departments within Glendale Community College and the Maricopa Community College District to promote video collections and services in the LMC. Media Services is committed to forging strong alliances and relationships with the film and video production industry, distribution community and network services to ensure the continuation of a diverse, high-quality universe of video programming.
