Equipment

All equipment at the Library (LCD projectors, camcorders, microphones, etc.) can be booked in advance by students, faculty, and staff. To book equipment online, fill out the Equipment Booking form.

For a list of available equipment, please see MIDCAT.

Lockers and Carrels

Lockers are available to all students, faculty, and staff. The keys can be checked out for a semester at a time.

See Library lockers and study carrel guidelines.

Renewing Items

Most material borrowed from the library can be renewed, often multiple times. To renew an item, login to your My MIDCAT account. Please note that renewing only works if done before an item is overdue.

Returns

Material can be returned to the Circulation Desk in the Davis Family Library or Armstrong Library. If the library is closed, materials can be returned in a drop box:

Davis Family Library vestibule, just to the left as you enter the front doors
Davis Family Library, on the back wall facing Storrs Avenue, next to the garage door
