Borrowing Technology

Items from our Reserve Collection, including Reserve textbooks and any equipment listed here are only available for currently enrolled students and active TWU faculty and staff members.

Borrowing Laptops

TWU students, staff and faculty at our Denton campus may check out Windows Laptops from the laptop kiosk located near our first-floor printers. A limited number of Windows laptops are also available for short-term and semester-long checkout from the main library Information Desks on the Dallas, Denton, and Houston campuses.

For short-term laptop checkouts, users may borrow the item for up to eight hours. In Dallas and Houston laptops cannot be renewed. In Denton, laptops can be renewed one time for an additional eight hours or until the library closes (whichever comes first).

For semester-long library-owned laptop checkouts, users may borrow the item for up to an entire semester, and each borrowing patron will receive a mouse, charger, and laptop bag with their checkout. Renewals for these items may be filled at the discretion of Library Administration.
