Technology Lending

COCC and Summit students, faculty, and staff can check out all technology equipment available.

Community patrons may check out headphones, audio recorders, flash drives, and miscellaneous chargers and cables only.

You are responsible for the safety and security of any technology item while it is in your possession. If a piece of technology is lost, damaged (even by accident), or stolen while in your possession, you will be responsible for the full replacement cost, plus a processing fee of $15. The first time you check out a piece of technology equipment, you must sign a document that verifies you understand this responsibility.

The replacement cost of equipment varies greatly, from $10 for small accessories to $1,000+ for laptops. Visit the links in the menu to see the replacement costs for different types of equipment.

Return the equipment to the Barber Library circulation desk during the Library's open hours. You can also return items to Redmond (RTEC front desk), Madras, or Prineville campuses during open hours.

Do not use the book drop at the Barber Library, as this can harm the equipment and will result in damaged item replacement fees.

Be sure to return all of the cords, cables, chargers and cases that came with the equipment you checked out. The equipment will not be checked in until all pieces are present.

Patrons are responsible for removing any personal information, stored files, and downloaded applications from devices before returning them to the Circulation Desk. The Library is not liable for damages if a user employs a device in a way that compromises his or her personal data to future users or to other third parties.

However, when a patron returns a device to the Library, staff will make a good faith effort to normalize the device by doing the following.

1. Deleting any information and files stored by the previous patron
2. Removing any unauthorized applications installed by the previous patron
3. Applying any pending updates to applications and operating systems
