Equipment

The Library (Irwin and Science), Center for Academic Technology (CAT), and Information Technology (IT) work together to meet Butler’s technology lending needs. The appropriate lending department depends on affiliation (student or faculty/staff) and usage scenario.

The Irwin Library has a collection of standard camcorders, high definition camcorders, USB snowball & wireless microphones, and several tripods available for check-out at the Information Commons desk. The equipment can leave the library and has a seven day circulation period. Items are available on a first-come, first-serve basis and can be renewed one time. Patrons should charge camcorders and clear memories before returning the equipment.

The Irwin Library recognizes that demand for these devices can be high; as a result, patrons are required to wait 24 hours after returning camcorders and microphones before checking one out again.

The Irwin Library has various à la carte chargers for smartphones, tablets, laptops, etc. The loan period on these items is four hours. Items are available on a first-come, first-serve basis and cannot be renewed.

  • Android Micro USB
  • Android USB-C,
  • Apple 30-pin

An assortment of headphones are available at the Irwin Library. Some of them are headphones only and connect via a 3.5mm connector while others also have microphones and connect to the computer via USB. Four hours is the loan period for these components. Items are available on a first-come, first-serve basis and cannot be renewed.

The Irwin Library has iPad 2s, iPads, and iPad Minis available for check-out to students at the Information Commons desk. The Science Library has iPad 2s available. We also have several iPad cases with a Bluetooth keyboard available for check-out. These devices may leave the library and have a seven day circulation period. iPads are available on a first-come, first-serve basis and cannot be renewed. Patrons should not delete library-installed applications. When iPads are returned, they will be wiped of all user data and settings and reset to library settings.

The Irwin Library recognizes that demand for these devices can be high; as a result, patrons are required to wait 24 hours after returning an iPad before checking one out again.

Both the Irwin Library and the Science Library have PC laptops and Apple Macbooks available for checkout to current Butler University students. These are available on a first-come, first-serve basis. This equipment can leave the library, has a 14 day circulation period, and cannot be renewed.

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.

  2. Be sure to mention that you need a loaner device with Examplify installed on it.

Several portable CD players are available for check-out to Butler University students. These are available on a first-come, first-serve basis and can be found at the Information Commons desk.  These can leave the library, have a seven day circulation period and cannot be renewed.
