Equipment Available For Free Loan

What can I borrow?

We have a range of digital media equipment available to students to loan for free.

The following equipment is currently available from the IT Help Desk counter based in the Main Library, Streatham Campus:

Laptops

Laptops can be loaned for 24hrs. Due to demand we cannot extend loans and require you wait at least 24hrs before booking a second laptop. Laptops are wirelessly enabled and are allowed to be removed from campus providing they are returned on time.

Please note that all laptops are locked down to prevent personal software being installed or system configuration changes.

Digital Stills Cameras

Digital still cameras can be loaned for up to one week. These cameras use memory cards if the internal storage space is not sufficient. You will need to provide your own memory card if required.

Dictaphones

Dictaphones can be loaned for one week at a time.

External DVD Writers

External DVD writers can be loaned loan for up to one week. You can use these devices to install software onto your computer, watch DVDs or listen to music.

 

How do I borrow it?

Loans can only be issued & returned during the IT Help Desk counter opening times.

If you need to be shown how to use equipment other than laptops, please contact the IT Help Desk prior to the booking so we can arrange a demonstration. Please allow 5 working days so we can arrange this.

When borrowing equipment you will be required to provide your UniCard as identification and will be asked to sign the accompanying terms & conditions. You will be responsible for the equipment and will need to pay for any damage or loss.
