Laptops and Ethernet Cables

Laptops

Wireless laptops, adapters, and Ethernet cables are available for checkout at the Reserve Desk and cannot be taken past the Library’s security gates. The laptops and adapters have been provided through student technology funds and, as such, are only available to currently enrolled MTSU students.

The loan period per item is four hours.  Laptops, adapters, and Ethernet cables must be returned to the Reserve desk 30 minutes before the Library closes.

Microsoft Office is installed on all of the laptops. Documents should be e-mailed to the student's account or saved to a “USB flash drive" frequently.  There is a small amount of storage on the laptops hard drive.  However, all documents are deleted after the laptop is returned to the Reserves Desk.

Upon checkout, the patron signs a form assuming financial responsibility for the laptop and its condition upon return to the desk. Any borrower who attempts to leave the building with a laptop or fails to return a laptop to the desk, will be denied laptop borrowing privileges in the future.

Wireless Internet Access

Wireless internet access is available throughout most areas of the Library and in the courtyard. Personal laptops must be configured for wireless internet access through ITD Network Services.

Ethernet Cables

Ethernet cables are available for checkout to students, faculty, and staff at the Reserve desk. The checkout period is 2 hours. Ethernet ports are located in all study areas throughout the library. Personal laptops must be configured for Ethernet networking through Walker Library Systems.

Printing

Printing from the Walker Library Reserve laptops is available in the Electronic Information Center in Reference. Instructions are available near the print station. Print jobs will be listed by the number assigned to the laptop. Printing is not available for personal laptops.
