Laptop computers are available from the library on loan to students:

There are laptop computers available on loan to students for use inside the library. Each laptop is installed with Hunter’s standard suite of programs.  In addition, there is wireless access available on all floors of the Main Library, at the Health Sciences Library, and in the Library at the School of Social Work.

Printing with OneCard is available after logging into the wireless network.

In order to borrow a laptop, you must fit the criteria and follow these rules:

• You must be a current Hunter College Student with no blocks on your record.
• You must have a current validated Hunter Student ID, as well as a photo ID such as a driver’s license, passport or State ID.
• You must read, understand and sign the Liability Agreement Form. (link)
• Laptops are loaned for a maximum of 3 hours, within the library (only) and may not be renewed.
• You may not reserve a laptop for a specific time.
• A student may borrow only one laptop at a time.
• Laptops must be returned to the Reserve desk and checked in with a library staff member who will verify that the computer is in working order before the borrower leaves the desk. You must allow at least 15 minutes for this.
• Laptops may be borrowed up to 1 hour before closing.
• All laptops must be returned 30 minutes before the Reserve desk closes. (See Main and Health Library hours)
• Overdue fines are $40 per hour and $10 per 15 minute period or any portion of the 15 minute period. (For example, if you are 33 minutes late in returning a laptop, your fine will be $30.)
• No programs, documents, etc., may be left on the computer. Everything, except for the preloaded programs, will be deleted when the machine is returned.
• Borrowers are responsible for the computer. If a machine is lost or stolen, the student is responsible for the replacement cost of $2000. If a laptop is damaged during the use, the borrower is responsible for the cost of repairs.
