Equipment Checkout Policies

Who may borrow equipment

The UO Libraries Center for Media and Educational Technologies (CMET) lends equipment and provides services to UO faculty, staff and students for purposes directly related to University of Oregon courses. There is no charge to borrow equipment for these purposes.

CMET does not provide equipment for non-instructional use. "Non-instructional" is defined as events that are not CRN classes, or are not directly related to a CRN class. These requests should be submitted to EMU Event Services (541.346-3087).

Borrowers' Responsibilities

Reservations for items not picked up within one hour of the scheduled pick-up time are subject to cancellation. Laptop computer reservations are subject to cancellation 1/2 hour after scheduled pick up time.

No one may use another person's I.D. or library card to check out materials.

It is the responsibility of the borrower to note the time or date that the material is due.

Borrowers are responsible for the security and prompt return of material and equipment checked out in their names.

OVERDUE FINES PER ITEM

Overdue fines are charged to encourage prompt returns and to ensure access to the collections for other borrowers.

Late fines for most equipment are: $4.00 for the first hour overdue or any part thereof and $.75 per subsequent hour late.

Any borrower who fails to return library material in a timely manner or returns it in damaged condition will be charged lost item fees or repair charges, any accrued fines, plus a $15.00 service charge per item. Patrons may also be billed rental charges above and beyond the overdue charges for materials not returned by the due time given at check-out.

Renewals

Renewals of equipment may only be done in person, with the equipment present.
