POLICIES

A. GENERAL POLICY

Most of the LRC equipment is available for check-out to individuals working on A&S course-related projects at no charge. Anyone in the University community (faculty, staff, students) may rent equipment for any purpose. A&S classes have priority which means that at certain times of the year some equipment may not be available. Equipment is not available to persons outside Vanderbilt.

B. CHECK-OUT OF EQUIPMENT

Use of LRC equipment for course-related projects must be arranged by the professor teaching the course. Professors who are assigning all or most of a class to do VIDEO projects must contact the LRC at the beginning of the semester to arrange a training sessions on the use of the equipment.

All equipment is checked out on a one-day basis. You may pick up a equipment between 12 noon and 4 pm and it is due by noon the following day. Equipment checked out on Friday is due back on Monday. Equipment returned late is subject to a late fee. Users must sign a check-out card, assuming responsibility for loss or damage to equipment. Please call the LRC (24855) to reserve equipment and be sure to cancel your reservation if you change your mind. Failure to cancel reservations, consistently returning equipment late, etc. will result in loss of LRC privileges.

C. RENTAL OF EQUIPMENT

Equipment is usually available for as many days as you need it, but only if you schedule well in advance. Rented equipment may be picked up between noon and 4 pm and is due back by noon on the last day of the rental. Rental charges must be paid when the equipment is picked up. We accept cash, check, or 1180 requisition. Users assume all responsibility for loss or damage to equipment. If the equipment is returned late, the user will be charged an additional day's rental. Failure to observe these rules will result in loss of privileges.
