Tech To-Go

So, you want to try some of our cool tech gear? Awesome! We have a few things you'll need to do and remember.

1. Technology Statement of Responsibility- Before checking out any gear you will need to sign the Technology Statement of Responsibility. Each student will need to have this waiver on file, and a new copy must be signed each year, or anytime there is a change in the policy. 
2. Student ID - You must have your OSUIT Student ID with you to check out any Tech Gear.
3. Checkout Slip - You will also be asked to sign a checkout slip, verifying that you know when the gear needs to be returned to the library. 

Responsibility

• I understand Tech To-Go is my responsibility while it is checked out to me. I will take all reasonable precautions to protect it. If others use it while it is checked out to me and damage or loss occurs, I understand I will be held liable for any loss, damage, or criminal acts. 
• I agree I will be responsible for repair or replacement of the equipment and any accessories due to any loss, damage or theft. 
• I understand I must have a university issued ID to check out Tech To-Go and must present this card before every checkout without exception.
• I understand it is my responsibility to make arrangements with Oklahoma State University Institute of Technology (OSUIT) to pay any and all charges incurred as a result of improper use, loss or theft of the equipment. Failure to do so may result in an inability to register for classes or receive my diploma or transcripts.
• I understand if the equipment is stolen I must notify Library personnel immediately and file a theft report with the OSUIT Campus Police. 
• I understand Tech To-Go is a privilege and borrowing rights are subject to change at the library director’s discretion.

Tech-to-Go Loan Periods

• I understand all Tech-to-Go checked out at OSUIT Library has a loan period of 3-30 days, depending on the item. Any equipment kept 14 days past the due date will be considered lost or stolen and I will be billed the full replacement cost, in addition to a $5.00 processing fee.
• I will follow the policies and guidelines for usage in the library and understand that these rules are subject to change.
• I agree to adhere to the terms and conditions outlined in licensing agreements including but not limited to licensing grant restrictions, copyright restrictions and transfer restriction.

Use Guidelines

• I agree to adhere to use policies for appropriate use of digital technology resources at OSUIT and other restrictions or requirements.
• I understand the internal memory cards on all Tech To-Go are erased after each use and anything I might save there will be erased. If l wish to save any data, it must be to my own device, card, or network drive.

Liability

• I understand OSUIT is NOT responsible for loss of data or damage to files that may occur due to the use of Tech To-Go. I understand this agreement must be renewed each academic year and that a loss of privileges will occur for a failure to comply to these policies and guidelines.
• I understand that this agreement is binding and will be in place until a new agreement is signed. 
• I understand that I use all materials at my own risk and will hold harmless OSUIT Library and its employees and affiliates for any injury or harm incurred while using borrowed equipment.
• I am currently enrolled as a student at OSUIT.

Tech-to-Go Damage Rates

• Replacement due to loss or damage (including failure to return the equipment) will be valued at the original purchase price.
• I understand I may not alter, delete, copy, vandalize, or add unauthorized software loaded on the Tech To-Go, nor may I change its existing configurations. I am responsible for any downloads or vandalism that damage the existing configurations, introduce viruses to the system, and damages the equipment.
• Items should be left with a staff member during the Library's open hours, and not simply set down on the circulation desk. Under no circumstances should items be dropped in book drops, as this can cause damage to the equipment. Patrons must document their equipment return on the sign in sheet, and are responsible for the item until it is signed in and returned to a staff member.
