| Are there
any restrictions on use of the laptops? |
Laptops may be used anywhere in the College and are the only
laptops that permit students to connect to the College's network.
Students bringing in laptops from home will not be able to connect to
the College's network at this time. Laptops are only to be used for
school-related work. |
| Who can borrow a laptop? |
All PHCC students in good standing and with a current, valid PHCC ID are
eligible to borrow laptops. All laptops are checked out to students
through the Library's circulation system so an PHCC ID is required.
Laptops can only be used in the Library and are not permitted to
leave the Library. |
| What about my liability for the laptop? |
Students are responsible for the laptop while it is checked out to them.
Do not leave the laptop unattended at any time. If the laptop is lost,
stolen or damaged while it is checked out, you are responsible. When
using a laptop, please bring any problems to the attention of the
library staff immediately.
Users of the laptop must comply with all PHCC Computer Use Policies. |
| How long can I use the laptop? |
Laptops are checked out to students for a period of 4 hours. Laptops
must be returned to the Circulation Desk of the Library one-hour before
closing. When returning a laptop, you must wait for the library staff
to check the laptop for damage. Disputes regarding the laptops and
bags can only be resolved at the moment the laptop is returned. |
| Are there any fees or fines? |
The overdue charges for laptops are $5.00 per hour, up to four hours,
after which the laptop is considered lost, and you will be billed for
its replacement up to a maximum of $2,700.
If a student consistently returns a laptop late, borrowing privileges
can be suspended. |
| What is loaded on the laptop? |
The computers are loaded with the Microsoft Office suite of applications
including Word, Excel, Power-point and Access. This is the same software
as loaded on other computers in the Library and labs. Access to the
Internet is also available
Data will not be able to be downloaded to the laptop. Data must be
saved on external media, the student's network account, emailed, or
printed.
All laptops will print to the Library printer. |
