Library & Information Technology Services (LITS) offers Beloit College students, faculty and staff equipment that can be temporarily checked out for use in the classroom, a college-sponsored event or other college business purpose. A current Beloit College ID is required for check-out. The equipment should be checked-out from and returned to the InfoDesk in Morse Library.

Patrons who need to check-out multimedia equipment or laptops will be required to fill out an Acceptance of Liability form at the beginning of each academic year.

Multimedia equipment is available to all students, faculty, and staff. A list can be viewed in the Equipment Available for Checkout page and requests for this equipment can be made via the Google Calendar. Standard equipment checkout period is 3 days.  If the equipment is needed for a longer period of time, arrangements should be made with an IT staff member prior to equipment checkout.
