A range of audio-visual and technology equipment is available for current students and staff to borrow. You can check below for what and how you can borrow. Except for the laptops, all other equipment can be loaned from the welcome desk on the G/F of the Library and they need to be returned at the desk and not via the returns machine.
Laptop Loans on Coventry Campus
There are 180 laptops available for loan in the Lanchester library; in addition, there are a further 96 laptops which are available for Engineering students across the three engineering buildings and 24 available in the Hub.
You can borrow a laptop from our self-service laptop safes on the G/F or 3/F of the Library. Please sign in using your Coventry University username and password. See this FAQ: How can I borrow a laptop?
Laptop loans are for 6 hours maximum and can be used only in the building you borrow from. It cannot be renewed. Overdue fines on laptops are charged at £1 per hour or part hour.
To return a laptop correctly, it must be connected to the charging lead when placed back in the locker. You should always ensure the lead is firmly attached in order to register the return and clear the laptop loan from your library account.
You can request a return receipt after returning a laptop which will indicate if there is any problem with your return. Once the laptop is returned correctly you will receive an email 'return receipt letter' confirming the return of the laptop.
Please read the terms and conditions below before borrowing a laptop.
