Computers, Laptops, and Internet Access

About Library Computers and Laptops

 

Saving Your Documents

You are encouraged to e-mail documents to yourself or to use a USB storage device, such as a flash drive. If you can't use a flash drive on your home computer and you want to save your documents to a floppy disk instead, you may borrow a portable floppy drive from the Circulation Desk at each library.

 

Headphones

Out of courtesy to other library users, please use headphones if you are viewing Web sites or using software that uses music or other sounds. At the Doyle Library, headphones can be checked out at the Periodicals Desk (second floor) or the Reserve Desk (fourth floor). At the Mahoney Library, headphones can be checked out at the Circulation Desk (first floor).

 

Disability Workstations

Students should be trained by the SRJC Disability Resources Department to use this equipment and software. Once you have been trained, you will be issued an ID card to present to library staff. Students must provide their own headphones for disability workstations. The Disability Resources Department will tell you which kind to buy.

 

Laptops

Currently enrolled SRJC students and staff with current SRJC ID cards are eligible to check out laptops for a three-hour period that may be renewed if no one is waiting. Laptops have either two batteries (longer battery life during the loan period) or one battery and a CD/DVD drive. Usage is limited to inside the libraries. The overdue fine for laptops is $10/hour; the replacement fee is $2,500. The borrower is solely responsible for the laptop during check out period, including damage, loss or theft.
