Open laptop with desktop display

NWTC recognizes that some employees may need to borrow a laptop temporarily due to special circumstances (conferences, laptop repair, etc.). To meet these needs, the Green Bay Library has a small collection of employee laptops for short loans. Employees who are scheduled full-time or regularly part-time (not part-time faculty) should contact the NWTC Help Desk (Help.Desk@nwtc.edu) for laptop needs related to their normal employment.  

  • Laptops circulate for 2 weeks (with the option of renewing only twice) before they need to be returned.
    • Longer circulation times (or permanent requests) will not be allowed. These laptops are not intended to be checked out by faculty for a full session to teach a course.
    • Employees can check out another laptop (if available) after returning their laptop in good condition by the due date.
    • If a semi-permanent/permanent laptop checkout is needed, the employee or supervisor will need to inform Xue Yang from the Help Desk (who will discuss options with the department or ELT).  The Library will not be able to provide extended check out options.
  • Employees can come to the Green Bay Library to check out a laptop or can contact the Library using the contact options listed on this site to ship a laptop to another NWTC location on the weekly courier. If employees contact the Help Desk for short loan requests, they will be referred to the Green Bay Library.
  • As with any NWTC equipment, the employee is responsible for the care of the equipment. Accidents will occur; however, consistent damage or lack of care may result in the employee/department being responsible for the repair/replacement of the equipment.
