Laptops for Check-out

Please check Laptops Loan and Use Policy before using this service.  Laptops Usage Guide is as follow:
  1. The laptop battery will provide power for approximately 2 ½ to 3 hours. Power cord and brick are included with the laptop bag. Floor outlets are located through out the library.
  2. Wireless access is available via RoverNet. An ISO password is required. Please contact the Circulation or Reference Desks for a guest account if you do not have an ISO password.
  3. Wireless signal reception strengths can vary through out the building. Reception in the study rooms tends to be moderate to low. Generally, the open areas (away from the book stacks) of the library provide the best reception. Poor web browser performance is usually an indication of low signal strength.
  4. The laptops have OpenOffice 1.1.4 installed. Included are word processing, spreadsheet, HTML and presentation applications. Users should be aware that library staff might not be familiar with these products and therefore unable to provide assistance with their use.
  5. Printing from the laptops is not currently available. Users may down load to a floppy disk (disk drive is included with laptop bag) or they may send attachments to their email accounts.
  6. Any problems with the operation of the laptops should be immediately brought to the attention of the Circulation Staff.
