Mansfield Student Handbook: Equipment

Bromfield Library & Information Commons has specialty equipment available for students, staff, and faculty to check out. 

These items include headphones, scientific and graphing calculators, digital video cameras, digital still cameras, projectors, tripods, and more.

Basic guidelines:

Is everything there? Make sure all pieces are accounted for when checking in and checking out.

Batteries! Include batteries with camera checkouts

Due date Make sure to tell the patron exactly when material is due, whether it be in 2 hours or 3 days

Extended check outs If a staff or faculty member needs an item longer than the default loan period, let a regular staff member know, so they can approve the due date. 

Renewals The equipment doesn't "renew" in the same way that books do. If there is no one waiting for the item--see the waitlist behind front desk and double check with your supervisor--it can be checked in and checked back out to the same patron in person or by phone.
