Borrowing Equipment

Several types of equipment are available to Rowan University students, faculty and staff. The borrower is responsible for replacement costs and any applicable fees for lost, damaged, or stolen equipment during the check-out period. Equipment is loaned on a first come, first serve basis.

Advanced reservations are not available, but if an item is checked-out, individuals may place a request for when it becomes available. Requests must be made at the circulation desk on the first floor. A borrower may not check-out more than one of the same equipment item type at a time. Some types of equipment are available for faculty/staff use only, and some equipment types are restricted to onsite (in the library) use only. Please see our list of loan periods below for restrictions.

Checking Out

At the time of checkout you will be asked to sign a contract indicating that you have received all items included with the loaned equipment, and that you understand and agree to our policies.

Returning

Check your item’s due date online: http://library.rowan.edu/vwebv/myAccount. Choose the “My Account” tab. You must return equipment to the circulation desk to verify that the borrowed item has been returned with all of its components, and is in good working condition. All items must be returned at least one hour before closing on their due dates. On nights that the library is open past midnight, items must be returned before 11p.m.
