Where can I borrow a laptop?

Answer

There is a kiosk in the library lobby that lends both Dell (PC) and Mac laptops for up to 2 weeks (14 days). The kiosk features a touchscreen that will walk you through the check out process and include the terms of service. You will need your Skidmore ID to check out a laptop.

Please visit the Circulation desk to borrow a charging cable and laptop bag (if needed). Please note that when you shut down the laptop it will completely erase any work or programs that were being used, so you must save your work to the Cloud or to a USB drive before shutting it down.

Laptops come equipped with the following software:

  • Microsoft Office
  • Chrome
  • Firefox
  • Zoom
  • Adobe Reader
  • Mathematica
  • JMP
  • Matlab
  • STATA

Please see the Frequently Asked Questions PDF for additional information.

The laptop lending program is a joint effort by Skidmore SGA, Lucy Scribner Library, and IT.
