Each laptop is wireless enabled for networking and has access to campus resources like printing, Webfile, and a full complement of productivity software. The InFocus projector works with a PC or a MAC. Ask for the MAC adapter when using a MacIntosh computer. A lightweight tripod screen is also available for check out. This library equipment may not be taken from the library.
Need a laptop for long term rental? The ND Computer Store offers rental computers to Notre Dame faculty, staff and students. These rental units can help you remain productive when your computer is being repaired, when you need a laptop for a trip, or when you need to study in a remote location. They have a variety of Windows and Mac laptops available for rent. Configurations may vary, so please provide hardware and software needs when you make your reservation.
