The library has a limited number of chromebooks available for students and laptops for adjunct faculty. Through careful analysis we’ve determined that many of our laptops were previously borrowed as a convenience service and less so for actual need. This is why we now only offer Chromebooks for students whose own laptops are damaged and are being repaired. Laptops are available for the teaching needs of adjunct faculty. Equipment can be requested here - /
