Requesting Library Technology

The Brightpoint Libraries now will be offering semester-long loans for technology devices. The libraries offer the following devices for loan:

Some devices may have different due dates based on criteria set by the owning department/instructor, availability of devices, and class schedule.  Placing a request does not guarantee a loan for the requested device(s).  The Brightpoint Libraries will honor all requests within the technology/device capabilities and supply.

If requested during the business week, students will receive a reply from the Brightpoint Libraries within 48 hours.  The reply will contain information on device loans and availability of the requested device(s). Questions about technology loans should be sent to library@brightpoint.edu.
