Carts Policy

Available equipment: CEHS has classroom wireless laptop computer sets available for checkout from the Educational Resource Center for class and workshop purposes. Each set is housed in a cart and must be checked out as a set.

Borrowing privileges: These sets may be borrowed by:
• CEHS faculty
• CEHS joint faculty
• CEHS staff

Advanced booking: The sets are available on a first-come, first-serve basis. They may be booked in advance for specific dates and times. Call Elizabeth Styers at ext. 3271 or Travis Bautz at ext. 2050 to book a set.

Checking out: These items are catalogued to enable circulation and tracking through the library system. The equipment may be checked out only in the name of a CEHS person, i.e. faculty, joint faculty or staff.

Borrower responsibility:

  • The person in whose name the cart is checked out will be responsible for the set until it is returned to the ERC.
  • The ERC cannot make deliveries; therefore, the borrower or a designee will need to pick up the equipment. If a designee will be picking up the equipment the ERC staff must be notified in advance.
  • All users are subject to the Wright State University’s Responsible User Policy form signed when receiving a WSU computer account.
  • Each set of wireless laptops is housed in a locking cart. The laptops are to be locked in the cart when not in use.
  • Laptops are to be kept clear of food and drink.
  • The borrower is responsible for all documents and files left on the computers.
  • Return delivery to the ERC: If the ERC is closed and the equipment is unable to be delivered the cart must be stored in a locked office/space. (Special arrangements may be necessary for adjunct faculty members.) Make arrangements to have the cart returned to the ERC. If a cart is not returned until the next business day, it is to be plugged into an electrical outlet and all laptops connected to their power supplies so they are charged and ready for the next user.
  • Technical problems are to be reported to CEHS Technical Support at ext. 4964.
  • Other problems are to be reported to ERC ext. 2878.

CEHS Technical Support responsibility:

  • CEHS Technical Support staff will provide training to those who use these wireless computer sets.
  • A troubleshooting sheet, prepared by CEHS Technical Support staff, will accompany each cart.
  • Laptop software will be updated quarterly to meet University minimum requirements and CEHS standards for computing.
  • All computers will be re-mastered quarterly by the CEHS Technical Support staff.
  • All documents will be removed from the computers on a weekly basis using an automated system.

ERC responsibility:

  • The ERC staff will track the circulation of the carts.
  • An inventory content check of the equipment will be done at each check in.
  • The ERC will do its best to keep all sets charged; however, back-to-back use of equipment may limit the level of charge.
