Q. How do I borrow a laptop from a lapsafe?

Laptops are available to borrow from lapsafes in our Library spaces and the Gateway. These are for student use only.

Lapsafes are completely self-service machines so there is no need to ask the building helpdesk staff to release the laptops. To borrow a laptop you will need your campus card and your PIN.

2) Tap your card on the lapsafe (black contactless symbol), as shown on the screen below:

3) Enter your PIN.

4) You will be asked to accept the laptop borrowing terms and conditions.

5) Once accepted, you will be told which locker will be unlocked. The example below shows that locker FA02 will be unlocked and the laptop will be loaned until 13/05/2021 23:59.

6) As instructed on the screen, go to the locker number indicated and tap your card on the contactless symbol on the tower. The locker should unlock and you can now remove the laptop. Please be careful when unplugging the power and network cables attached to the locker. Please close the locker door when you have removed the laptop (and charger and/or bag if applicable).
