Do the libraries offer laptops for loan?

The University of Minho libraries offer laptops for loan. These laptops are for use exclusively within the library premises. Therefore, laptops cannot be taken home (no off-site loans).

This service is exclusively for UMinho students, faculty, researchers, and staff.

Online laptop reservation requires users to have a valid registration with the University of Minho libraries.

Laptops are loaned for a maximum period of 4 hours (or until 30 minutes before the library closes).

The equipment must be picked up at the service desk.

Reservation confirmation (check-in) must be completed at the scheduled time or within the following 15 minutes.

Laptops must be returned to the service desk at the end of the loan period.
