Loaner Laptop Policy
Both the Irwin Library and the Science Library have Dell laptops
and Apple Macbooks available for checkout to current Butler
University students, staff, and faculty. These are available on a
first-come, first-serve basis. This equipment can leave the library
and has a 48-Hour circulation period. Loaner Laptops have no
renewals.
Overdue Notices, Late Fees, & Replacement Fees
As a courtesy, students with late fees are notified by e-mails
before bills are sent to Student Accounts. All late fees for
computer devices are billed at $10 per day for items that are
overdue. To ensure a timely return of devices and to avoid late
fees, students are encouraged to monitor their due-dates via
My Library Card.
Replacement fees for computer devices is billed based on the
cost of the item and may vary from several hundred to several
thousand dollars.
To review our overdues policy, please see our
Overdues Policy and Procedures page.
The Irwin Library recognizes that demand for these devices can
be high; as a result, patrons are required to wait 24 hours after
returning a laptop before checking one out again.
