IT Facilities: Loanable Equipment

Loanable Equipment

You can borrow more than books from the library! We have a range of loanable equipment available.

Equipment for Loan

Students on our Ipswich campus can borrow a laptop from the self-service LapSafe lockers.

To borrow a laptop, you will need to scan your student ID card and follow the instructions on-screen. You will also need to agree to the borrowing terms and conditions shown. More information on the LapSafe scheme can be found on Brightspace.

Laptop loans are not restricted to the Library and can be used across campus. Laptops can be loaned for 8 hours, or until 30 minutes before Library closing time, whichever is soonest.

To return your laptop, scan your student ID card and follow the instructions on-screen. 

If you encounter any difficulties in loaning a laptop, please report to the Library helpdesk.
