Where can I borrow a laptop?
Answer
Laptops are available at the Circulation desk. Please stop by the desk to borrow one. PC (Dell) and Mac laptops are available for a 7 day loan and can be renewed twice via your library account. They are on a first come, first served basis. The laptops will come with a charging cable and laptop bag.
The maximum loan (with 2 renewals) of a laptop is 3 weeks. The library does not have any longer-term or annual laptop loaning programs.
Remember that you need to save work on a USB drive or the cloud as the laptops are programmed to erase all saved work when shut down and will automatically reboot once a day.
Laptops come equipped with the following software:
- Microsoft Office
- Chrome
- Firefox
- Zoom
- Adobe Reader
- Mathematica
- JMP
- Matlab
- STATA
Patrons will incur a $5.00 per day late fee and will be charged a $2,000 replacement fee for lost or damaged laptops.
The laptop lending program is a joint effort by Skidmore SGA, Lucy Scribner Library, and IT.
