We now have an updated version of the laptop agreement forms. The updated file can be found at H>Circulation>ORIGINALS Binder>Equipment Agreement Forms. Copies can also be made from the master in the filing cabinet.
The new format has several items the patron will need to initial, as well as space for them to note any damage to the laptop. There is also a line at the top to take down the laptop type (PC/Mac) and the laptop number, as well as a staff initial at the bottom. Because each form is laptop specific, we will now need to have patrons fill out a new form every time they check out a laptop.
Because the responsibility of checking for any damage is now shifted to the patron, we no longer need the laptop check out/in clipboard.
If there are any major damages that are not already noted in Alma, or if you are unsure if something has an issue, please put the laptop on the “equipment problems” cabinet and check out a different laptop to the patron.
Please look over the new form and let me know if you have any questions on the new process.
