By checking out equipment you agree to and are expected to abide by the library’s terms of use:

- I understand that semester length equipment borrowing is for one term only and cannot be renewed into the next term or kept for a full year.
- I understand that I am responsible for returning the equipment to the Stewart Library by the designated due date or the equipment may be marked as lost and billed to my account.
