Equipment Loans for Faculty and Staff: The library has several laptop computers and a few portable overhead projectors that faculty and staff may borrow for two week periods. Longer loan periods require permission from the dean's office. The library also has digital camcorders, digital and analog voice recorders, PC microphones, Bamboo tablets, etc. available for Stark Campus faculty to borrow. If you have a course project involving multimedia production, please consult with the library at the beginning of the semester to make sure the proper equipment is available when students need access.

Equipment Loans for Students: Checkout a Laptop Students can checkout a laptop computer from the library circulation desk for two hours. Students should read the policy for checking out laptops and then sign the Laptop Agreement Form.

The Library has designated the second floor as a Quiet Space for individual study and leisure reading. While on this floor, please refrain from any activity that may distract others from studying or otherwise using the Library for individual research. Group study rooms are available on a first-come, first-served basis (unless there are posted signs indicating they are reserved). When using the Group Study rooms, please be as quiet as possible and respectful of others on the second floor. Individuals may use Group Study rooms. However, if a group (more than 1 student) needs to use a Group Study room, an individual may be asked to relinquish the room.
