When the item is found, it will be placed on the Hold Shelf. We will then notify you that the item has been found.

The laptops offer access to the Internet, Word, Excel, and Powerpoint; they print to the laser printers in the Computer Commons.

You may save a file to the 'Public Folder' on the laptop's hard drive. To transfer files to another machine, you can use web-based e-mail to send yourself the files as attachments.
