Laptop Checkout Policy at Lewis Library

LAPTOP CHECKOUT POLICY FOR LEWIS LIBRARY

Students currently enrolled at Loyola University Chicago may check out laptop computers for use in the Lewis Library. The following policies pertain to the use of those laptops:

• Laptops may not leave the Lewis Library. You may check out only one laptop at a time.

• You must present your university ID to check out a laptop. By checking out a laptop, you assume complete responsibility for any damage to and/or loss of the equipment or software configurations as evaluated by the Lewis Library Circulation staff. Note: Costs for damage or loss could average $1,000 or more.

• Laptops may be checked out for no longer than 3 hours (NO RENEWALS.) You must return the laptop by the time specified. A late fine will be charged at the rate of $0.20/minute after a 9 minute grace period ($12/hour), accumulating to a daily maximum fine of $156. After 24 hours, the laptop will be declared lost and full replacement cost will be charged to your account.

• Full replacement cost will be calculated at the cost of the laptop and accessories of the same brand, model and configuration when the laptop was declared lost.

• Laptop computers can be checked out and must be returned to the Lewis Library 6th Floor Circulation Desk only during open hours.

• Any student with any unpaid fines or fees related to laptops (including cords & batteries) will be barred from checking out equipment until all fine/fees related to laptops are paid in full.

• Any student returning a laptop 2 or more hours late will be barred from checking out equipment until the following semester.

• Fines or fee in excess of $50 will block all library privileges and encumber your transcripts until they are paid - which may impact registration for classes.
