Lecture Tapes

Students can request to listen to lessons on tape by going to the first floor of Meyer Library. Students must first determine the library reference number of the audio tapes that accompany the lessons in their workbook by look them up in the binders adjacent to the front desk.

Stanford students can also make legal personal copies of these tapes. Just take several blank cassettes with you to the second floor where you can manually copy them, or drop them off at the second-floor counter to have the library staff do it for you.
NOTE: (1) You should determine beforehand if you will need to use 60 or 90-minute tapes. (2) Library tape-copy requests may take a few days to be filled. On the otherhand, the second floor has a special speed-recorder for manual student copying. (Approximate time for duplicating a 90-minute tape, both sides is 3-5 minutes.)
