Tech Fee Media Loan Library Checkout and Usage Policies
Conditions of Use
The Tech Fee Media Library equipment will only be checked out to current Eastern Oregon University students. Equipment will only be for student academic use. Students must show a current, valid EOU ID card with proof of registration of current term. Students not registered for the current term will not be able to check equipment out.
Students will be required to be on a list of qualified users. Qualified users are identified by faculty instructors and will have a signed AV agreement form from their faculty instructor on file in the library prior to checking out any A V equipment
The Tech Fee Media Library reserves the right to charge for late, broken, or missing equipment. Students will be informed of the equipment's replacement cost and their liability for replacement/repair on checkout.
The Media Library reserves the right to deny the use of equipment to anyone for reasons relating to academic or financial standing, equipment safety/security, appropriate use, or other justifiable reason.
Equipment Checkout and Check-in
Equipment can only be checked in or out from the Pierce LIbrary Circulation Desk during open hours (determined each term and posted), not including holidays and other EOU closures.
A normal loan period is three days, however some High Demand equipment may only be checked out for a single day at a time. Lesser-used items may be checked out for up to seven calendar days.
Any equipment checked out on a Friday should be returned the following Monday. In case of a Monday holiday or other closure, the equipment should be returned the first business day following the weekend. If the closure is longer than seven calendar days, or if the equipment is on a restricted time list, a special reservation or exception will be required to keep the equipment checked out over the longer period of time.
During the academic term, equipment will be loaned out from the first day of the term until the Wednesday of Finals Week. Borrowing between terms will require a written exception to the Media Library policy. The Media Library staff will require written justification of the user's needs, a Faculty member's signature verifying the user's request, and a receipt or proof that the user has fully paid tuition for the following term.
Reserving Equipment
Equipment may be reserved up to two weeks in advance. The Media Loan Library staff will make every effort to ensure reservations will be met, however reservations are not guaranteed, due to late return of equipment or equipment breakage. Reservations will be honored on a first come, first served basis except as provided in the Program Priority Reserve.
High Demand or limited equipment may not be reserved for more than two weekends in a row, and may be subject to other restrictions.
Extended Loan and Program Priority Reserve
There may be some exceptions made to the normal loan agreement for up to 5 weeks or until the end of the term, whichever is shorter. Students are required to have written justification of their need for an extended loan, as well as a Faculty member's signature.
Other restrictions made in consultation with Program Faculty and Tech Fee Committee may also apply.
