How do I borrow and return a laptop?
Answer
To borrow a laptop, from any laptop safe (see list of locations below):
- Select borrow a laptop using the touchscreen.
- Tap your ID card on the sensor below the screen.
- Read and click to agree the terms of loan.
- Collect the laptop issued from the numbered safe door, which will have unlocked.
- Please make a note of the time you need to return the laptop by (usually 6 hours after borrowing, or when the building closes if this is sooner). If you fail to return it on time you will be fined £1 per hour.
When the time is up or you have finished with the laptop:
- Select return laptop from the touchscreen.
- Tap your ID card on the sensor below the screen.
- The correct compartment will open for you.
- Remember to re-insert the charging cable: if you do not plug the laptop in it will remain on your account.
- Please check that the locker door has shut properly.
