We loan out a wide range of technology items from the 2nd floor circulation desk, the 3rd floor technology loan desk, and the self-service kiosks with the support of the Baruch Student Technology Fee. While most items have short loan periods, selected items (such as Chromebooks and graphing calculators) can be checked out for the entire semester.
From the 3rd floor Technology Loan Desk, you can borrow equipment and get technical assistance from our staff. You can borrow laptops, iPads, Chromebooks, headphones, cameras, phone and laptop chargers, battery packs, presentation remotes, etc. On weekends, selected devices are available at the 2nd floor Circulation Desk.
Borrow a laptop or a portable charger from our self-service “Tech Loan Kiosk” located on the 2nd floor of the library by the turnstiles and in the Newman Vertical Campus building by the elevator bank on the 2nd floor.
