Did you know that you can borrow laptops from the library? These laptops allow you to download software, so that if you need to use special language fonts such as IPA phonetic fonts or other language-related software, a loaner laptop will do the trick. (Campus and library computer labs generally don’t allow you to download onto workstations.)
The loan period is 4 hours, and they’re available at the Koerner, Woodward, David Lam, and Robson Square branch circulation desks. You can even check the library catalogue for availability! Just do a title search for “laptop computer“.
For more information, see the Loaner Laptops FAQs.
