VCU Libraries has even more laptops now available for students to borrow while working in the library. There are forty laptops and seven netbooks at Cabell Library, and three laptops at Tompkins-McCaw Library for the Health Sciences. To see if there are laptops available before you come to the service desk, simply check the online catalog for "student laptop" as a title -- you'll be able to see the laptops and netbooks at both library locations.
Software installed on the laptops includes Windows XP, MS Office 2007, Internet Explorer and Mozilla Firefox, SAS and SPSS, myitlab, iTunes, CutePDF Creator, and Photoshop Elements. The netbooks have Windows 7 Starter Edition, MS Office 2007, Internet Explorer and Mozilla Firefox, and CutePDF Creator.
Laptops are loaned for four hours at a time, and borrowing is limited to students and faculty at VCU with a valid VCUCard. If you return a laptop late, you will be responsible for overdue fines ($10 per hour), so be sure to bring your laptop back before it is due. A limited number of headphones and power cords are also available; just ask at the desk. The laptop loan service is provided by VCU Libraries and VCU Technology Services.
