Terms of use
All equipment is tagged and listed on the Library catalogue so you must have a current library card in order to borrow equipment. Equipment is intended for use on campus. If you borrow equipment, you are responsible for returning it in the same condition and might be asked to arrange for its replacement or repair if it's damaged.
If you don't return equipment by the due date, your Library borrowing rights may be suspended until the item is returned.
