Service Updates
LSS AV Pool (259A Van Hise)
Due to staffing changes, summer AV Pool hours are by appointment only. We apologize for any inconvenience. Regardless, instructors can replace requests at any time.
If you have previously checked out equipment from us, our online reservation form is a convenient way to reserve equipment for one-time or repeat use. If you have not previously used our services, please email us (avpool@lss.wisc.edu) to schedule an in-person meeting to register (Wiscard required).
We have lots of new items available for short-term instructional use including cables, adaptors, lighting kits, and tablet tripod mounts. See the full list at https://lss.wisc.edu/services/av-pool/.

About LSS
Learning Support Services (LSS) is a non-academic department in the College of Letters & Science at UW-Madison. Since its earliest days as the Language Lab serving foreign language faculty, our primary mission at LSS has been to support faculty and instructional staff in accomplishing their mission to teach students. Over the years, LSS has become involved in other related activities, but this core instructional support mission remains.
