Circulating Laptop Computers

Ten PC laptop computers and accessories (power cords, PC adapters, and computer cases) are available for use in Lilly Library. All items circulate for 4 hours, and MAY NOT leave the library. Each item must be checked out separately at the circulation desk, and patrons must leave their campus ID at the circulation desk until the items are returned. These items must be returned directly to a student worker at the circulation desk. In order to check out laptops and accessories, users must sign a Lilly Library Laptop Computer Agreement. This form provides a detailed outline of the policies regarding laptop use and may be printed from the link above or picked up at the Lilly Library circulation desk.

Computers may be checked out by any current Earlham student, staff, or faculty member.

The computers are available on a first come-first serve basis, and occasionally may be reserved by faculty for instruction in the Library.

Computers are limited to in library use only. Patrons needing computers for overnight or classroom use may reserve loaner computers through ITAM.

If no one is waiting to use a computer, the loan period may be renewed for an additional 4 hours.
