equipment availability.
All equipment must be returned by the specified times. Should the need arise to retain an item longer than anticipated, please notify our office as soon as possible to request an extension to the loan agreement. Classroom Services will make every attempt to accommodate the request if additional resources are available.
All equipment is distributed by the Classroom Services office which is located on the 1st Floor of the Himmelfarb Library.
