Check Out a Laptop from a Kiosk!

Students can borrow laptops for 1 day, 3 days, or 7 days from the self-serve kiosks located on the 2nd floor of the Charles Willard Coe Memorial Library (Chalon) and on the 1st floor of the Thomas J. McCarthy Library (Doheny).

Authenticate with your MSMU email and password and follow the directions on the screen. Laptop cases and power cords are available from the circulation desk.
