Our Mission

The mission of the Robert J. Kibbee Library’s Media Services department (commonly referred to as the Media Center) is to provide the college community with an assortment of audio-visual equipment in support of the teaching and learning goals of Kingsborough Community College.

The Media Center delivers equipment to the entire college campus. Our 10 storage areas around the college supply televisions and VCR and DVD players. Overhead projectors and screens, laptop computers with projection devices, and slide projectors are also delivered to all classrooms upon request of an instructor. The Center holds over 2,000 VHS tapes, DVD’s and audio tapes for the use of students and faculty.

Media Services welcomes any suggestions you might have to make operation run more efficiently. For questions and comments, please contact Richard Najjar, Head of Media Services at 718-368-5048 (or rnajjar@kingsborough.edu).
