[LIBRARYDIR] [EXTERNAL] laptop checkout policies

[Christie Flynn]

Hi all,
Enjoying this thread. Is a police report required? Is there an alternative for undocumented students or students who might feel uncomfortable contacting the police?

We would require a copy of a police report for the stolen item on file with our college & library.
Then we would loan again.

Hey all. Do any of you have "stolen/lost equipment" clauses in your laptop checkout policies? We have a student check out one of our laptops, and then the laptop was stolen. Our staff are reluctant to loan another laptop to the same student. Is this ethical? Can we deny access to a student who needs a laptop even if they had one of ours stolen? Any guidance would be appreciated!
