Student Loaner Laptop Policy

The Irwin Library has four laptops, four netbooks, and two MacBooks available for checkout to current Butler University students. This equipment can leave the library and has a one day circulation period.

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. If demand is high, patrons may be required to wait 24 hours after returning a laptop before checking one out again.
