Library Services

Borrowing laptops

  • Follow the instructions on the cabinet screen.
  • You will need your student ID card.
  • Laptop loans are up to 10 hours at a time - return must be at least 15 minutes before the building closes.
  • On return, ensure that you plug it into the charging cable in the cabinet locker. Wait for the red light - this shows it has been returned successfully. If you don't plug it in, you could incur a fine.

Please return laptops on time - the fine is £2 per hour if late!

Please note: Laptops are pre-installed with software including Microsoft Office and AppsAnywhere. All laptops are wiped and restored automatically every time they shut down so ensure you save your documents to a Cloud service such as OneDrive, or send a copy to your student e-mail address before you turn the laptop off and return it.
