I know this is a bit old but as student employee for Class Room Audio Visual (which runs the Lyons new media centre) I figured I could comment on this.
We do have quite a good collection at mills but the reason we don't let student take them out is that they have to be available for professors (both at McMaster and other universities in Ontario) to use in lectures and for students to review. As we only have around 2000 videos (most of which are documentaries), and there is over 16,000 students at McMaster you can imagine how depleted our video library would be if we allowed students to rent them out. Even professors have to return them by the next day.
There is good news though. You might have noticed the construction on the 4th floor of Mills. Once that is done we are moving up there and will have a dedicated viewing section, so you wont have to sit in the stacks.
