Need Computing on the Fly? Check Out a Laptop

Need access to the network quickly, but all the computers in the Libraries are already taken?

Maybe the materials you need for a paper are all in one place in D. H. Hill Jr., but there’s no workstation nearby?

Or your prof has asked you to polish up a presentation before class in two hours, and there’s no time to head home or to the dorm to get your laptop?

The NCSU Libraries can help with our Laptop Lending Service. We have helped out students and faculty with a quick laptop loan over 60,000 times during the last academic year. In one crunch, in fact, more than 80 laptops were checked out in a single hour.

Stop by the Service Desk in the D. H. Hill Jr. Learning Commons or the Circulation Desk in the branch libraries, and you can check out a PC, Mac, or tablet for four hours, with another four-hour renewal if you need it. With access to the Virtual Computing Lab and the Libraries’ wireless network, you should be able to use all your favorite applications.

It doesn’t just stop with laptops. Part of the Libraries’ mission is to make sure you have easy access to the technologies you need to succeed at NC State. If you need a camcorder, an SLR camera, the latest Kindle, a digital recorder, or a GPS, just show us your ID, check out the latest, and go get the work done.
