Overview

The Video Lending Library database is a Lotus Notes-based system designed to allow the public, educational institutions and professional organizations to view a listing of the Environmental video tapes available for temporary use from EPA Region 1. The database allows for a Video Lending Request to be submitted online which will be processed by the Region.

Navigating Video Lending Library

The main navigator provides three options. These options may be executed by clicking on the buttons on the left.

Searching: See item #3 below for the searching option available on this view.
