Current Cummings School students, faculty and staff in good standing with the Webster Family Library are eligible to borrow a laptop.
Checkout Procedures
Laptops may be checked out from the Veterinary Library between 8:00am and 5:00pm, Monday through Friday. Tufts University ID is required and borrowers must abide by the Laptop Checkout Agreement. If requested, a mouse or carrying case may also be checked out.
Students
Students may only check out one laptop. These are available on a first-come, first-serve basis.
Faculty and Staff
Faculty and staff can reserve laptops for use in teaching on campus. Please reserve laptops at least one week in advance by contacting the library. Pick-up, delivery and return of laptops should be arranged between 8:00am and 5:00pm, Monday through Friday.
Loan Period
Laptops can be checked out for seven days. The due date can be found by logging into your library account. Laptops are not renewable, and users should not check out another one immediately upon returning the first.
If you need a laptop for longer or if you are habitually late in returning your laptop, a limited number of long-term lending laptops are available. Based on your individual situation, a long-term lending laptop may be checked out to you instead of a week-long lending laptop.
Returning Laptops
Laptops and all accessories must be returned inside the library. A librarian will check to be sure all accessories have been returned. Note: No files can be saved on the laptop.
