On-Line Camcorder Checkout Request
For Tech TV crews only.

This is an experiment to see how well the process actually works.  The form is very similar to the one that has been used for several years, however now it can be filled out on your computer and e-mailed back to me.  All you will need is the latest version of the free Acrobat Reader and an e-mail program that is properly configured so the form will be returned to me from your Tech e-mail address. 

The one area that I have not yet resolved is the actual reserving on a certain date and time of a particular camera.  This form when submitted, is only a REQUEST and is not a confirmed reservation.  The confirmation will come in the form of a return e-mail to your Tech e-mail account.  These forms are still manually processed and entered into the database that prints the "tickets" each morning. 

On the form when you get to the date areas, there is a drop-down arrow to the right of the line.  Use this to select your date of pickup and return.  The form will put that information in the proper format.  This will not read your mind, so I strongly suggest you use the calendar drop-down and click on the date. 

The time MUST BE in the 24-hour format or you will be scheduling a pick up at 0300 (3:00am) instead of 1500 (3:00pm).  Most inconvenient for both of us and I might add -- IT WILL NOT HAPPEN.  Simple math works for 24-hour time.  Any hour after NOON is determined by adding 12 to the hour.  Basic math, nothing obscure or fancy.  Matter of fact, if you can count to 3 and can add 12 to it, you have it under control. 

This form will NOT work automatically from a public computer, but should work from your home or notebook computer if you use Outlook, Outlook Express, Eudora or some other non-web-based e-mail program.  From a public computer or one where you use the OneTech webiste for e-mail, you can FILE >> SAVE AS the completed form to your Desktop and then attach it to an e-mail.  Send it to tv6@atu.edu for proper processing.  Once sent, delete the form from your Desktop. 

Otherwise click the SUBMIT button at the bottom of the page.  If the form is received before 7:00am, and the equipment requested is available, you should be able to check it out as requested.  Just remember that this form is only a REQUEST and not a reservation.  This form in it's current functionality will work best if submitted a few days in advance of your actual need.  In other words, plan ahead. 

Click HERE to open the form.  This form will evolve as changes need to be made, so for the present time, do not save and reuse it, always return to this page to get the current form otherwise it may not be properly processed.
