MOTA Audiovisual Library
Policy and Procedure

The MOTA Audiovisual (AV) library has been developed for use by MOTA members for professional growth and development. Views expressed in the AV materials are not necessarily the view of MOTA or the MOTA Board members. The library contains representations of available video programs, in two formats: videotape and DVD,  in a variety of practice areas, which provide information relevant to current occupational therapy practice.

All requests are processed through the MOTA office. Currently, the majority of materials are in the form of videotapes (VHS) and may be ordered by phone for a loan period of 14 days.

Procedure:

1. After having reviewed the MOTA AV Library Inventory list and selected video program/s to request on the MOTA Website, contact the MOTA office at, 651-290-7498 to place your request.  Credit card payment information is required upon initial request of materials.
2. Materials including the video program/s, handouts (if applicable), receipt of payment, contract, and return-mailing label will be sent to you via U.S. Mail.
3. Upon completion of viewing the video program/s, return it with the signed contract to the MOTA office using the enclosed return-mailing label via U.S. Mail.

Fees:

A non-refundable use fee of $15.00 per video program is required for handling, maintenance, mailing, and printing costs of handouts if applicable. Cost for multiple video program/s  in a series is $15.00 for the first video program, plus $5.00 for each additional video program in that series. Because of these minimal fees, no previews are possible. Duplication of video program/s without the consent of the copyright holder is prohibited.
