Borrow Technology

Library technology items

 

The University Library has a variety of technology items available for use by Nevada State students and employees.

A Scorpion Card is required to check out technology. Some items, such as laptops, are limited to one item per person. Please see the information below for more information on borrowing items from the Library Service Desk on the 2nd floor of the Rogers Student Center (RSC) building.

By checking out technology from the University Library, you agree to the following:

  • Responsibility: When you check out library technology, you are responsible for the item until it is returned. If the item is lost, damaged, or stolen, you may be charged for its repair or replacement. To view replacement costs, select the appropriate item type from the menu on the left.

  • Damage and Repairs: Normal wear and tear is expected and not considered damage. However, any other damage will be assessed by the Office of Information Technology Services, and repair costs may be charged accordingly.

  • Due Dates and Late Returns: Please return technology items on time. Items kept after the due date will generate a bill for the full replacement cost. This could also result in a hold being placed on your student account.

  • Renewals: Technology items cannot be renewed online or over the phone.

  • Returns: All technology and accessories must be returned in person to a library staff member at the Service Desk.

  • Availability After Return: Devices may not be immediately available for re-checkout, as they require time for updates and maintenance.

  • Account Security and File Safety: Before returning any device, please log out of all personal accounts (e.g., iCloud, iTunes, Google, Amazon). The Library is not responsible for any lost files, saved login information, or unauthorized transactions.

Laptops

Check out laptops from the Library Service Desk on the 2nd floor of the Rogers Student Center (RSC) building.

Laptop Usage Guidelines

  • Initial Login: Laptops must be signed into for the first time while connected to the campus WiFi. Please ensure you are on campus and connected to the network before attempting to log in.

  • Do Not Shut Down: Avoid shutting down the laptop, as this will disconnect it from the campus network and will prevent you from accessing your account.

  • Overdue Lockout: Laptops will automatically lock if they become overdue. Once locked, they cannot be used again until they are returned to the Library.
