Checkout Procedures

Faculty may call [206-6550] or come to the Media Lab [BRK 180] to reserve equipment for a particular day. Off-campus networking arrangements and special requests must be arranged by Pam Rodgers [206-7951] prior to checkout. Depending on availability, arrangements can be made to reserve the equipment. When checking out equipment, users will be asked to provide a valid I-Card and complete and sign a checkout form indicating the date and time of checkout and return. It is highly recommended that requests be made well in advance of need, as equipment is in high demand and limited supply.

The maximum checkout period is 7 days unless prior permission is obtained by an Information Technology Services supervisor. If you have reserved equipment and do not pick it up by the originally scheduled time, the equipment will become available for other users on an as-needed basis.

Late fees will be incurred if the equipment is not returned on time. If you are unable to return the equipment on the due date, immediately contact a Media Lab Supervisor [206-6550].

User Responsibilities

• You are responsible for all of the equipment in the case [including the manual]. The equipment is inspected when returned.
• You are responsible for providing your own recording media such as a mini DV tape.
• The fine for late equipment is $10.00 per day with a potential loss of equipment loan privileges, regardless of who checks it out. If you need an extension, come in or call us at 217-206-6550.
• Loss or damage to the equipment during checkout is the financial responsibility of the person in whose name it is checked out.
• Equipment should not be exposed to adverse conditions.
• If you have not received training by class instruction, and have no prior experience with the equipment, you must receive training from a Media Lab employee before leaving the Media Lab with the equipment. Training may be done either in groups for campus classes with specific assignment needs, or individually by appointment.
