Borrowing Technology from the Nevada State University Library
The University Library has a variety of technology items available for check out to all Nevada State students, faculty, and staff.
A Scorpion Card is required to check out technology. Some technology (such as laptops or Chromebooks) is limited to one item per person. All items can be checked out and returned at the Library Service Desk.
By checking out technology from the University Library you agree to the following:
-
By checking out library technology you are assuming responsibility for that technology until you return it. If the technology is lost, damaged, or stolen you will need to pay the replacement or repair costs of the item. You can find information on an item's replacement cost by selecting the item type from the tab menu on the left.
-
Damage does not include normal wear and tear. Repair costs for damage will be assessed by the Office of Information Technology Services.
-
Please return technology on time. Late technology will be marked as lost and generate a bill for the replacement cost of the item. This may cause a hold to be placed on your student account.

After technology is returned it may not be available for immediate renewal due to the need for updates and regular maintenance.
